Descriptions
Dasyscyphus apiculatus Dennis 1961
Apothecia gregaria, erumpentia, stipitata; disco flavo, 1 mm. lato, excipulo alba, pilis erectis, obtusis, paullulum septatis, scabriusculis, hyalinis, 75-80 x 3.5-5 µ obtecto; asci clavati, octospori, 75-80 x 9-10 µ, apice rotundati, jodo non tincti; ascosporae distichae, fusoideae, utrinqe, acutatae, biguttulatae, hyalinae, 11-14 x 3-4 µ; paraphyses cylindraccae, apice acutatae, 2-2.5 µ cr.
The rather round-topped asci lacking a pore-plug stained blue by iodine suggest a Perrotia but the paraphyses, though slender, seem to be pointed at the tip and the spores are not like those of other Perrotias. The material is unfortunately scanty and in poor condition and the generic position may be reconsidered when better collections are available. Spores of a rather similar trapezoidal shape, 8-12 µ long, were described for Lachnum trapeziforme Vel., on Carpinus leaves in Czechoslovakia.
In cortice Nothofagi fuscae, 600 m, Lake Waikaremoana, Auckland district, 29.12.1955, Dingley 18987 (typus).
