leaves of Macaranga tancurius. 
This species is distinguished by the very numerous short mycelial setae; 
the alternate capitate hyphopodia; and the large spores tapering slightly 
from the middle toward the ends. In this species the spores sometimes 
germinate while still within the perithecia. Two such spores were ob- 
served with germ tubes about 40 ix in length.

pitatis alternantibus, cellula superiore ovata 12-15 g diam., cellula 
inferiore brevi, 6-8 g longa; hyphopodiis mucronatis paucis, 
irregularibus, ampulliformibus, usque ad 20 g longis; setis my-
