and separating within the ascus at all the septa, the ascus thus 
becoming many-spored and the spores unicellular. 
‘‘This is clearly related to Ohleria in which the 4-celled spore 
divides into two 2-celled parts at maturity, the ascus thus becom¬ 
ing 16-spored, or it may be compared to a Trematosphaeria in 
which the spores fall to pieces in the ascus before maturity.”

Pelodiscus Clements n. g. Pezizaceae. Botanical Survey of 
Nebraska, 5:7. 30 March 1901. 
“Ascoma minute, superficial, sessile, carnose, cupulate, at 
length disciform or explanate, pilose without, but not ciliate at 
the margin; asci cylindrical, 4-8-spored, paraphysate; spores 
ellipsoid or oblong, hyaline. 
“Pelodiscus agrees with Humaria and Scutellinia in having 
the ascoma superficial, while in Sepultaria and in Sarcosphaera it 
is at first hypogaeous. It agrees with Sepultaria in being simply 
tomentose or lanose without, in which it differs from the smooth 
Humaria and the ciliate-tomentose Scutellinia.”
