Click to collapse Descriptions Info

Because of the poorly preserved type material it was impossible to make a thorough examination of this species. Its systematic position remains doubtful therefore.

Hyphae of tissue with clamp connections, some thick-walled, some up to 10 µm diam. Cuticle of amyloid to slightly pseudo-amyloid, more or less parallel hyphae and hyphal endings.
Inserted on fallen dead leaves of Nothofagus cliffortioides, Arthur's Pass, 7.6.1954, Ruth Mason in Stevenson (type).
