Sphaeria acetabulum Berk. 1855

Description

Minute, black, covered by the cuticle. Perithecia slightly irregular, depressed, convex below, concave above, adnate with the cuticle in the centre, but without any trace of an orifice. Asci oblong, attenuated above, and truncate. Sporidia oblong (immature).

Latin

hypo- et epiphylla, peritheciis tectis depressis subirregularibus omnino astomis supra collapsis subtus convexis, ascis oblongis attenuato-truncatis.

Notes

I have in vain hunted for mature sporidia; there can be no doubt, however, that the species is undescribed.--This grows with Phoma acmella, which is possibly the spermatogonous form of the species.

Typification

On dead leaves of Corynocarpus leavigata, Te Apiti, Colenso.
