Latin

Caepitosa, testaceo-rubra, erumpens. Caespitulis convexis. Peritheciis subglobosis, laevibus, papillatis, mox depressis, vel concavis. Ascis clavatis. Sporidiis biseriatis, ellipticis, uniseptatis, constrictis, hyalinis (0.02-0.025 x 0.008-0.01 mm.).

Notes

Closely allied to N. pulcherrima, B. & Br., but perithecia darker, and sporidia rather smaller.

Typification

On bark. Little River, Banks' Peninsula (305), Maungaroa (321).
