This is the case in a still higher degree with the ascocarps of the Hysteri- neae and Fhacidiaceae, the structure and development of which have been but little examined. According to Hartig's account of Hypoderma macrosporum and H. nervisequum and my own imperfect observations on some species of Rhytisraa and Phacidium, the hymenia in these groups are formed in the interior of flat sclerotioid Fungus-bodies (xyloma, see p. 43), and become exposed at the time of maturity, when the layer of tissue over the surface of the hymenium separates from it.

In this case there are at first only paraphyses present in the hymenia; the origin of the asci which are introduced between them has yet to be exactly ascertained. Section LXI. The perithecia of the Pyrenomycetes (Fig. 90, see also Fig. 44), may be described as cup-shaped discomycetous sporocarps with the margin.
