Brief description

Monoecious. Receptacle multicelled, consisting of a series of superposed cells giving rise to lateral perithecia and secondary appendages. The primary appendage continues the main axis of the receptacle and bears simple antheridia. Only cell m is visible amongst the perithecial basal cells (Fig. 19A, m) and above cell VI, which is usually subdivided in two cells, the additional one named cell VI′ (Fig. 19B, *). One of the perithecial wall cells of the third tier (w 3) appears characteristically enlarged (Fig. 19C, E, arrows).
