Descriptions
Badhamia calvescens T. Macbr. 1926
Fructification closely gregarious; sporangia dark grey, ovate or cylindric, sessile, or narrowed below, but not strictly stipitate ; about 1 mm high, with apical dehiscence; the capillitium dense, the tubules very short, the nodes large, irregular, white, physaroid, more or less aggregate at the center, otherwise no columella; spores dark violaceous, coarsely spinulose, thick-walled save for a limited area apparently thinner, but bearing a few scattered spinules, 12-14 µm.
Resemblance is with B. papaveracea (Berk.) Rost.; the spores are adherent in fours, apparently; but there are no stems and the sporangia are cylindric or irregularly prolate.
