altered substance of the bark which is raised into subconical pro¬ 
tuberances. Perithecia globose, J mm. diam., lying in the bottom 
of the stroma and partly sunk in the subjacent wood, 20-30 in 
a stroma, abruptly contracted into slender necks which rise 
through the substance of the stroma, their obtuse slightly en¬ 
larged, hemispherical, papillate ostiola bursting through the epi¬ 
dermis in a densely crowded fascicle. Asci clavate-cylindrical,

wrinkles extending from the summit of the stipe to the margin 
of the cup, disk rather darker, dull watery white, becoming liver-

as the asci, mostly recurved and spatulate-swollen at the tip.
