On leaves of Protea grandiflora, Bains Kloof, near Wellington, 26.2.11, Doidge [1217] ; 
21.2.12, Doidge [2059]; 5.4.12, Stoneman [2232]. 
Loculi ellipsoid or pyriform, perithecium-like, 150-220 » diameter, sunken under the 
epidermis, arranged in centrifugal, irregularly branched, ine lines, to a diameter 
of 1 cm. Locular wall consisting of concentric laters of delicate stromatic hyphae. 
Apex of loculus penetrating the epidermis but not protruding. No true ostiole. Vegetative 
stroma meagre, penetrating into the intercellular spaces of the mesophyll below the epidermis 
in the form of perpendicular hyphal strands. At the apex the hyphae also penetrate the 
adjacent epidermal cells, but without forming a clypeus. Asci basal, quite sessile, club- 
shaped, thickened round apex, 70-110 x 25-35 u, aparaphysate, eight-spored. Spores 
distichous or tristichous cylindrical, straight, medially slightly constricted at the septum, 
light-brown, rounded at both ends, 42-52 « 8-9 u.

This fungus occurs commonly on gr ee alatus. Its mycelial setae were described 
as being straight, simple, opaque, 200-400 « 5-10 Us pellucid near the acute apex. 
Examination of a large number of collections shows pee in the majority at least 50 per cent. 
of the setae are forked at the apex. The apex of the setae should therefore be described 
as simple, acuminate, or with two to three acute teeth. | Fig. 2.)
