TYLOSTOMA Persoon 
TYLOSTOMA EXASPERATUM Mont, in Ann. Sci. Nat. II 8 (1837) 362. 
Schizostoma exasperatum Lev. in Ann. Sci. Nat. Ill 5 (1846) 165. 
Luzon, Province of Benguet, Pauai, Bur. Sci. 8716 McGregor, June, 1909, 
at an altitude of about 2,100 m. 
Spores echinulate, 6 to 10 u, averaging a little larger than those described 
by Montagne. It is very evident, though this specimen is not quite mature, 
that it belongs to the group Schizostoma, as limited by Ehrenberg. 
Previously the collections of this species have been limited to the West
