Sphaeria miniata Hist. 127.

Pink coloured Sphaeria

Frequent on the trunks of fallen Alder
Trees when the Bark begins to decay,

The issue from small fissures in the external
Cortex, by thousands & Millioins, so crowded as
to make the whole trunk of the tree of a fine golden
scarlet colour.  I have magnified it in two degrees,
but my specimen did not exhibit the sphraerula
which characterize the genus.
Mr. Hudson places it amongst the Tramella.
