nosis of the genus and of the two species as published in 1894 32 ,

now seem necessary.

Stroma thin, hard when dry, black, especially the outer por¬ 
tions, lighter within, but the dark color is present to a consider¬ 
able depth, effuse, pulvinate, disciform or armillae-form, partly or 
entirely surrounding the host or substratum, continuous or inter¬ 
rupted and then a thin sterile portion continuous as in D. aris- 
tidae, but then not developed to an appreciable extent between the 
bases of the perithecia and the host. Perithecia crowded, conflu¬ 
ent with the stroma, but thin walls distinct and of a different 
structure from the surrounding stroma, immersed, the apex pro¬ 
jecting above and giving the stroma a granulose, rugose or con¬ 
volute appearance. Asci cylindrical, 8-spored. Spores filiform, 
septate when mature, and eventually separating at the septa into 
short segments.

Stroma 5-20 mm. long (or sometimes longer), usually occu¬ 
pying one side of the leaf and may be either epiphyllous or hypo- 
phyllous. Perithecia 100-150 ft in diameter and nearly twice as 
long, the conical apices projecting slightly above the stroma give 
it a granulose appearance. Asci 150-200x4-5^, linear, tapering 
to a slender point at the base and crowned by a hyaline truncate 
apex or cap “cell.” Spores nearly the same length as the asci, but 
about 1 ft in diameter, curved and interwoven in the ascus.
