Lamprospora maireana Seaver
Mycologia 6: 14 (1914)

Type: Algeria, 'Parmi les mousses, talus humides au Boulevard Bru à Alger', 1912-Feb-1 R. Maire (holotype NYBG)
Lamprospora maireana, apothecium Lamprospora maireana, ascospores
1: Lamprospora maireana, apothecium with shoots of Fossombronia caespitiformis, Portugal, Lissabon, leg. Marcel Vega 2014-Jan-26 (MV140126-04) 2: Lamprospora maireana, ascospores stained with lactophenol-cotton-blue, Portugal, Lissabon, leg. Marcel Vega 2014-Jan-26 (MV140126-04, collection on Fossombronia caespitiformis)
Apothecia: 0.3-4.0 mm in diameter with conspicuous membranaceous margin, hymenium yellowish-orange, orange or red
Asci: (280-)315-370 x 20-27(-36) µm, 8-spored, spores uniseriate
Ascospores: globose, inclusive ornamentation 19-24(-25) µm, exclusive ornamentation 15-20 µm in diameter, ornamentation consisting of rounded tubercles 3-6 µm wide and (1-)2-3(-5) µm high, partly confluent, with internal guttules therefore appearing "foamy"
Host: Fossombronia spec., collections on Archidium alternifolium may represent a separat taxon
Habitat: on damp soil
Distribution: on Fossombronia only in South Europe and North Africa, on Archidium alternifolium in Central and North Europe as well aa in North America
Note: The type from Algeria probably infects Fossombronia. Collection on Archidium alternifolium, especially from Central and Northern Europe, may represent a separate taxon.
