tinuous, smooth, narrowly elliptic-fusiform, straight or slightly curved,

Distr. —France (Montmorency, Boudier). 
A very distinct species, remarkable for springing from a sclerotium, 
and also for having the base of the ascigerous portion distinct from 
the stem for a very short distance, and thus forming a very slight 
free margin. Specimen from Boudier examined.
