Only for Sordaria macrospora (Pleurage macrospora), Sporormia intermedia (Dangeard,. Fig. 172.—Sordaria macrospora. 1. Elongate ascogonium with sheath hyphae. Sporormia intermedia. 2. Young perithecial fundaments, the upper showing an antheri- dium. (After Dangeard, 1907.) 1907) and S. leporina (Delitsch, 1926) has a new, peculiar relationship been determined. In the former the ascogonium is not coiled but ver- tical (Fig. 172, 1) and divided into several short multinucleate cells. In the latter a typical ascogonium is no longer formed. A hyphal cell becomes barrel shaped (Fig. 172, 2) and is septate in three dimensions to a small node. At times before it is septate, a hyphal branch approaches it and anastomoses with it, but details of the process, as those of Sordaria macrospora, are unknown. According to the structure of the mature fructifications, the Sord- ariaceae may be divided into two tribes, the Chaetomieae and Sorda- rieae; in the former the perithecia are generally covered with a thick felt of spiral or forked hairs, which the latter lack; these differences, however, are Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readab
