A unique combination of morphology. Samuels whose long and extremely productive mycological profession is mostly committed towards the taxonomy from the Hypocreales with passion for Hypomyces among several other people.Perithecia in effuso subiculo dispersa, semiimmersa, coccinea purpurescentia, obpyriformia, (25027070 (16020060 m; papilla late conica, 6520 m alta, basi (608005 m lata.

Conidia ellipsoidea vel cylindracea, (late-) fusiformia, recta vel extremo extremibusque flexa, 150 six m, hyalina, 1()-septata. Chlamydosporae 124 m diametro, ochroleucae.Subiculum with embedded perithecia broadly effused over host or in compact, 1 cm diam patches, forming dense, cottony or occasionally scarce, arachnoid mat, whitish to pale crimson, buff to yellowish; hyphae hyaline to pale purplish red, three wide, with cells partially swollen to 17 m diam, in particular near the perithecia, thin-walled. Perithecia scattered in subiculum, semi-immersed to nearly superficial, crimson to purplish red, turning purple in KOH with tip of papilla remaining hyaline and occasionally lower part of venterreddish brown; flask-shaped, (25027070 (16020060 m; wall 120 m wide, composed of a single region of flattened thin-walled cells, cells considerably swollen, 120 m diam, at surface; papilla prominent, broadly conical, 6520 m high, (608005 m wide at base, with cells at surface 117 m diam, attenuating to 300 m at tip, tip obtuse with oblong-clavate cells, 64 three.five m reaching surface; ostiolar canal periphysate.
