Asterina sublibera Berk. 1855

Perithecia collected in little patches, with a few radiating fibres, which by no means form a membrane. Asci elongated, subcylindrical, rather attenuated at the apex. Sporidia four in each ascus, oblong, slightly constricted in the centre, uniseptate, hyaline, 1/1750 of an inch long.
mycelio parcissimo e fibris intertextis, ascis elongatis, sporidiis quaternis uniseptatis hyalinis.
Differing in its elongated asci from all known species, except the foregoing, an unpublished one, A. anomala, from Ceylon, in which the mycelium is very dense, and the sporidia narrower.
On leaves of Metrosideros diffusa, Colenso.
