Caption: FIG. 28. Pezizella australis. Habit sketch x 10, details x 660.
 

Article: Dennis, R.W.G. (1961). Some inoperculate Discomycetes from New Zealand. Kew Bulletin 15(2): 293-320.
Notes: The structure is that of Pezizella vulgaris (Fr.) von Höhnel, but the ascospores are larger and the ascus-pore blued by iodine. Pezizella sordidula (Speg.) Sacc. on Nothofagus bark in Staten Island evidently differs in its smaller ascospores, 4-4.5 x 1.5 ยต.
