Descriptions
Hysterium breve Berk. 1845
Campbell's Island
on the dead leaves of Uncinia Hookeri, Boott.
Peritheciis brevibus ellipticis nigris prominulis, rima angustissima, ascis linearibus elongatis.
Perithecia minuta, nigra, nitida, prominula, breviter elliptica, raro utrinque apiculata, rima angustissima. Asci elongati, lineares, paraphysibus filiformibus rectiusculis immixti, sporidiis filiformibus.
This species is manifestly different from the small form of H. culmigenum, and the nature of the asci and paraphyses are further distinct, being in the latter plant shorter and of a different form, with the apices of the paraphyses curved or curled. The apiculate extremities may not prove to be a constant character, though the probability is that it will, at least in full grown specimens.
