Ciri dan struktur
Differs from Octospora kelabitiana by larger apothecia with a distinct margin, infection of pleurocarpous mosses of the family Sematophyllaceae and frequent formation of a Spermospora -like anamorph. TYPE: SOUTH AFRICA. KwaZulu-Natal Province: Uthukela District Municipality, uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park, Injasuti, 29°7.72'S, 29°25.27'E, 1750 m alt., on Trichosteleum perchlorosum on decaying wood, 2 Mar. 2018, Z. Egertová (Sochorová) and M. Sochor ZE48/18, holotype: PRM 951743, isotype: M; LSU GenBank accession number: MK569321, SSU GenBank accession number: MK569351, EF1α GenBank accession number: MK569297. Apothecial features: Apothecia in groups on plants of Trichosteleum perchlorosum or Sematophyllum brachycarpum or between them, 0.2–1.5 mm broad, up to 0.65 mm high, first subglobose with a small apical opening, later hemispherical, turbinate to disc-shaped, pinkish-orange, sessile, mostly with a well-developed margin, outer surface of excipulum with adpressed to shortly protruding hairs or hyphae. Hairs *55–205 × 4–10.5 µm, scattered at flanks, hyaline, scarcely septate, obtuse, thick-walled, wall *0.5–3.5 µm thick. Excipulum at the base *230–330 µm thick, laterally about 50 µm thick, composed of angular to subangular (triangular, trapezoid, rectangular), globose, subglobose or irregularly shaped cells, *6–43 × 5–42 µm, outermost cells thick-walled (neighbouring cells divided by up to *6 µm broad wall). Margin *60–280 µm broad, consisting of globose, subglobose, pyriform or trapezoid cells, *10–38 × 7–30 µm. Subhymenium *40–75 µm wide, consisting of densely packed cylindrical cells *3–7 µm wide mixed with angular or irregularly shaped cells, *4.5–8 × 4.5–6 µm.
