Click to collapse Notes Info

editorial
The collection is small so was not investigated in detail but it is certainly not a species of Catillochroma, Megalaria or Cliostomum. From the form of the thallus, the fusiform shaped ascospores and other anatomical details, it is most probably a species of Coenogonium, and from the orange-red colour of the apothecia it may be an earlier name for Coenogonium rubrofusca (Vĕzda & Malcolm) Malcolm.
