 Sporodinia Link, Willd. Sp. PL 6^: 94. 1824. 



Type species, Sporodinia grandis Link. 

 f Azygites Moug. et Fries; Fries, Syst. Orb. Veg. i: 364. 1825. 



Original description : Hie fungus est verus Mucor erectus, 

 Aspergillo maximo simillimus, simul vero est vera conjugata. 

 Ab Aspergillo recedit vesicis lateralibus binis in corpus fusiforme 

 connascentibus. Moventur semina. 



Type species, Syzygites me galo carpus Ehrenb. 



Sporangiophores erect, septate, repeatedly dichotomously 

 branched, terminated by a sporangium with columella ; zygospores 

 on special, upright, dichotomously branched filaments. 



Link bases his new genus Sporodinia on Aspergillus globosus 

 Link (Obs. i : 14. /. 75. 1809). There is no such species given 

 on page 14 but on page 16, figure 15 is cited under the name 

 Aspergillus maximus. The figure is very clearly the species 

 under consideration. 



The genus Azygites is not clear.
