Peziza nephrodigena W. Phillips 1886

Description

Crowded or scattered, sessile, globose, then hemispherical, at first clothed with a slender pubescence, then glabrous, white, waxy, firm, 0.002-0.04 mm. diam.; hymenium concave, nut-brown, margin inflexed; asci clavate; sporidia oblong-fusiform, rounded at the ends, three septate, constricted at the septa, 0.012-0.015 x 0.004-0.005 mm., paraphyses not seen.

Typification

On fading fronds of Nephrodium hispidum. New Zealand (Kirk).

Velutaria nephrodigena (W. Phillips) Sacc. 1889

Collections Examined

On fading fronds of Rumohra hispida (Sw.) Copel.

Notes

This is an epiphyllous lichen which has been kindly determined for me by Dr. R. Santesson as Bacidia subundulata (Stirt.) R. Sant. The species is peculiar in developing its apothecia on the opposite side of the leaf from its vegetative thallus so it is not surprising Phillips took it for a nonlichenised fungus. The pruinose character of the excipulum presumably led to the transfer to Velutaria.
