Dasyscyphus cassandrae sensu Dennis 1961

On decorticated wood of cultivated Rhododendron sp., Mt. Eden, Auckland, March 1950, G. H. Cunningham 18978.
The material is rather poorly preserved with the hymenia largely destroyed by insects and ascospores have not been seen free from the asci so it is not certain if they ultimately become septate. The identification is based on Tranzschel's diagnosis only as no authentic material of D. cassandrae has been seen. The type was on dead twigs of Cassandra calycantha Don (Ericaceae) from European Russia. A collection (G. H. Cunningham 18979) on Rhopalostylis sapida (Palmae) from Whangarei, Parahaki reserve, seems scarcely distinct in spite of the very different substrate.
