Pezizella australis Dennis 1961

Apothecia conferta, subcaespitosa, sessilia, concaviuscula, albida vel albido pallescentia, disco 0.5 mm. lato. Asci clavati, octospori, 50 x 9 µ, obturaculo minutissimo jodo coerulescentes; ascosporae distichae, cylindraceo-oblongatae, rectae vel curvulae, 9-11 x 2 µ; paraphyses filiformes, gracillimae, subflexuosae, crassit. 1 µ.
The structure is that of Pezizella vulgaris (Fr.) von Höhnel, but the ascospores are larger and the ascus-pore blued by iodine. Pezizella sordidula (Speg.) Sacc. on Nothofagus bark in Staten Island evidently differs in its smaller ascospores, 4-4.5 x 1.5 µ.
In cortice Quintiniae serratae (Saxifragaceae), Harihari, Westland, 8.1.1954, Dingley 19037 (typus).

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Tiny, sessile of very short stipitate discs, gregarious on surface of bark of fallen wood. Discs translucent creamy white, hymenium deeply sunken with the receptacle extending far above the asci. ?Crocicreas?
