Ascocarps deeply immersed, urceolate, 0.3-0.7 mm diam., round to elongate, crystalline margin entire. Margin in cross-section 70-80 µm wide, splitting away from hymenium when dry. Crystals forming a 20-30 µm wide, wedge-shaped layer in top half of margin. Wall layer 10-15 µm wide, extending partially under the subhymenium; comprising pale brown, regularly arranged, 1.5-2.5 µm diam. hyphae. Periphyses 30-35 x 2 µm, mostly unbranching, forming a compact, untangled layer. Paraphyses slightly swollen at tips, nonamyloid. Asci 100-120 x 5 µm, cap 3-5 µm thick with a central pore, 8-spored. Spores, when young, filiform, 100-110 x 1.5-1.8 µm; disarticulating into 1-celled, 2.5-4.5 µm long, spore pieces.
Anamorph in vivo: Has not been found.
Characteristics in culture: Spores germinating on agar plates in 24 h. Colonies on OA are very similar in appearance to those formed by other dark-walled Stictis species (S. asteliae, S. dicksoniae, S. subiculata), but no conidia were produced.

Habitat: Found once, on dead leaves of Cordyline australis.

Ascocarpi immersi, profunde cupulati, 0.3-0.7 mm diam., margine integro, albo, in sectione transversali 70-80 µm crasso, siccus ab hymenio se abrumpens. Stratum crystallinum 20-30 µm crassum. Stratum parietis 10-15 µm crassum, hypharis 1.5-2.5 µm diam., brunneis. Periphysoidea 30-35 x 2 µm, non ramosa. Paraphyses filiformes, simplices, in iodo non caerulescentes. Asci 100-120 x 5 µm, apice 3-5 µm crassi, 8-spori. Sporae 100-110 x 1.5-1.8 µm, cellulis 2.5-4.5 µm longis, ad septa se disjungentibus et articulates simplices formantibus.
Holotypus: PDD 41865 ex Cordyline australis (Forst. f.) Endl.

Etymology: cordylinae; refers to host plant.
Note: Although this species has disarticulating ascospores, a feature more characteristic of Schizoxylon, the margin has a well developed periphysis layer, so is included in Stictis.

Holotype: New Zealand: AUCKLAND: Northcote, Kauri Glen, on Cordyline australis, P. R. Johnston, M. E. Lanigan, 16 Mar 1981 (PDD 41865).
