Chlorosplenium chrysotrichum (Berk.) Dennis 1961

On twigs, shores of Waikare Lake, 1843, Colenso (type); York Bay, Wellington, 27.7 1923, E. J. Butler 1213 (immature), on Nothofagus cliffortioides, (Fagaceae), 780 m., Arthur's Pass, Canterbury, 16. 1 1956, Dingley 19031.
This beautiful species was fully described by Massee (in Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot. 31: 517 (1896)), but its systematic position still presents some difficulty. It is not a Trichopeziza as typified by Saccardo but it agrees tolerably in structure with the species of Chlorosplenium de Not. The asci, however, give a negative pore reaction with iodine and their spores are an odd shape for that genus.
