Crocicreas multicuspidatum (Rodway) S.E. Carp. 1981

‘Cyathicula’ multicuspidatum was described from Dicksonia from Australia by Rodway in 1921, recombined as Crocicreas by Carpenter 1981. DNA sequences show it needs a new genus in Bryoglossaceae.
- Carpenter describes the spores from the type and other specimens as clavate, tapering to subacute base, drawn as not curved, asci J-, unbranched paraphyses
- Long triangular teeth (but no measurement)
- ‘Crocicreas’ urniformis, described from Dicksonia by Beaton & Weste 1977, was placed in synonymy by Carpenter. From the Beaton & Weste description, on Dicksonia, spores are drawn as curved (“ellipsoidal-fusiform, a few slightly curved”), short teeth (150 um), branched paraphyses.
I have no DNA from C. multicuspidatum from Dicksonia, but there are three morphologically very similar species from Cyathea from New Zealand that form a monophyletic clade (blue in the tree below), phylogenetically within Bryoglossaceae.
