Description: Apothecia scattered, superficial, cupshaped, sessile, orange coloured throughout, disc concave
when dry, flat and 2.5 mm. diameter when soaked up. Asci cylindric-clavate, 70-75 x 5 µ, 8-spored,
pore blued by Melzer's reagent; ascospores uniseriate, narrowly elliptical, 5-7 x 1.5-2
µ; paraphyses cylindrical, obtuse, 1-1.5 µ thick; marginal excipulum composed of small, short,
prismatic cells 2 µ wide, in rows at a low angle to the surface; flesh of large, angular,
thin-walled cells, 10-15 µ across, passing into a superficial zone of smaller rounded cells like those
of an Encoelia. The yellow pigment is soluble in ammonia.
Notes: Clearly this is not a Pezizella in the restricted interpretation of von Höhnel but is more like his
Orbiliopsis.
