Epiphyitlous, when thinly sown each thallus is plainly visible, consisting of a number 
of narrow, dull-black, irregularly branched radiating fibrillae ; frequently ‘the thalli are 
so numerous that they coalesce, and the whole leaf surface becomes encrusted with the dull- 
black growth ; thallus irregular in breadth, 95-275 u broad, formed of narrow, rectangular, 
radiating-prosenchymatous cells. Conidial pycnothecia, 90-115 u diameter, containing
