Specimen notes
Public Note:
text from Geoff Ridley MSc thesis. "The type material was examined and consisted primarily f a species of Pleospora. Extensive examination revealed one small cluster of effete ascocarps containing few ascsopores but no asci or pseudoparaphyses. The ascospore dimensions were slightly larger than those reported by Sydow (1924) and were finely punctate, no mention of which was made in the original description. In the sectioned material only the two most outer cell layers of the ascsocarp wall remained. The cellular anatomy of the ascocarp wall suggests affinity with Phaeosphaeria Miyake rather than Leptosphaeria (Pers.:Fr.) Ces. and de Not., however a new combination would require examination of better material ..."
