Vizella metrosideri sp. nov.PETER R. JOHNSTON
Herbarium PDD
Abstract Vizella metrosideri sp. nov. is described and
illustrated from Metrosideros excelsa. It forms macroscopically
indistinct colonies either within or beneath the cuticle on the upper surface
of living leaves. The colonies comprise fruiting bodies of the teleomorph and
anamorph, together with a sparse network of flattened, ribbon-like hyphae with
thickened, dark septa and alternating dark and light cells. Such hyphae are
characteristic of the genus. The distinction between Vizella and
Entopeltis is discussed. |
