Classification
Descriptions
Asterina torulosa Berk. 1855
Perithecia scattered, but grouped in little spots. Asci elongate. Sporidia filiform, torulose, 3-5-septate, 1/2000 to 1/1500 of an inch long.
mycelio parcissimo, ascis elongatis, sporidiis torulosis vilidi-hyalinis.
This species occurs also on Asterina dilatata. Berk., which is perhaps only an incipient Collema, and therefore omitted as doubtful. Like the original specimens described in the 'Antarctic Flora', it occurs on Panax.
On leaves of Piper excelsum, Colenso.

Notes
taxonomic status
No type material in K. Described originally from Piper - surely this is one of the common Macropiper pathogens.
There is a Colenso b854 collection in K, identified as "Asterina torulosa ?", but on Nesodaphne (?Vesodaphne) - the leaves are Beilschmiedia tawa. [PRJ, August 2010]
