Helotium leucopus Mont. 1854

On dead leaf of Knightia excelsa (Proteaceae), 360 m., Lake Okaitana, Auckland, 20.6.1951, Dingley 19050.
The type-collection was on leaves of Persea lingue (Lauraceae), Valdivia, Chile. The species is very near H. caudatum (Karst.) Vel. (1934), recorded on dead leaves of a wide range of Dicotyledonous trees and shrubs in Europe and North America. In the Chilean and New Zealand collections, however, there are from 4 to 6 well-developed guttules in the spores, which measure 18-22 x 4-5.5 µ, whereas European material has spores containing scattered granules as described by Karsten 'eguttulatae vel guttulis paucis praeditae'.
