Asci cydindrical, sessile, 115-125 × 7-8 µ. Paraphyses rather abruptly thickened, yellow and curved at the tips. Sporidia uniseriate, occupying the upper half of the asci, coarsely echinulate-roughened, binucleate and with a short, straight apiculus at each end, length including the apiculus 11-11 ½ µ, breadth 4-5 µ.
Peziza Chaeteri, Sm., has sporidia much like this, only wanting the appendages.
