Article: Korf, R.P. (1957). Two bulgarioid genera: Galiella and Plectania. Mycologia 49(1): 107-111.
Notes: also several other species with transversely furrowed spores that are being worked out by Prof. Nannfeldt, including Urnula platensis Speg. which surely belongs here. Transfer of these species awaits his further studies. Sarcosoma turbinatum Wakef. with longitudinally furrowed spores may possibly belong in this section.
