Lauterbachiella filicina (Berk. & Broome) Dingley 1972

on Cyathea gigantea (Wall. ex Hook.) HoItt. (syn. Alsophilae gigantea Wall. ex Hook.) Ceylon: Central Province, Galagaira, May, 1858 on Cyathea rebeccae (v. Miffier) Domin. (syn. Alsophila rebeccae v. Muller) Australia: North Queensland, F. v. Muller (K) (type collection of Asterina alsophilae Cke. & Mass.) on unknown host Australia: Queensland, Russell R. (K) on Cyathea smithii Hook f. New Zealand: Auckland, L. Waikaremoana, J. M. Dingley Nov. 1956 (PDD 16077) There is a need for further collections of this species; in the three Kew collections spores are immature. In the New Zealand collection they are 9-12 X 3-3.5 g, similar to those given for the species by Theissen and Sydow (1915). The species differs from L. dicksoniafolia in that loculi may be annular and pseudoparaphyses are present in hymenium. The conidial stage Queenslandia pulchella Batista & Maia in Batista and Ciferri (1959) appears to be a misinterpretation of immature tissues in developing ascogenous loculi.

Ascomata on upper and lower surfaces of fern leaves, more or less circular, 13-3 mm diam., when mature entirely superficial, black, crustose, at first subcuticular, mycelium of ascomata only in contact with leaf tissue through stomata; 15-20um thick, 80 A at loculi. Outer wall of radially arranged, pigmented and agglutinated mycelium. Hypostroma of pigmented and thickened hyphae. Loculi annular or linear 60-80um diam., up to 0.5 mm Ion., covered by agglutinated mycelium which at maturity cracks and exposes hymenium. Hymenium of closely compacted asci, pseudoparaphyses absent. Asci elliptical or clavate 50-6011 X 5-8 um bitunicate, 8 spored, ascospores biseriately or uniseriately arranged. Ascospores one septate, elliptical, 9-12 X 3-3.5 um hyaline.

Ceylon, Australia, New Zealand.

On living leaves of Cyathea spp. TYPE: On Alsophila gigantea Wall. ex Hook., Ceylon, Central Province, Galagaira, May, 1858 (Thwaites, 453)

Lauterbachiella filicina (Berk. & Broome) Dingley 1972

Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Ascomata stromatic, perithecial, aggregated, globose, black, 0.1 mm in diameter, embedded in a superficial, crustose, circular, black stroma, 1–3 mm in diameter; on both surfaces of fronds. Asci elliptical to clavate, 50–60 × 5–8 μm. Ascospores elliptical, 1-septate, 9–12 × 1–4 μm, smooth, hyaline.
Distribution: Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Taupo, Gisborne.; 1st Record: Dingley (1972).
Significance: None.; Host(s): Cyathea smithii.
