This is obviously the specimen which Maire, Flore de l'Afr. N., 1: 72 (1952) mentiones in his observations. He suggests that it is not a hybrid but should be C. hispanica Mett. We completely agree with this opinion. It is not only a very poor specimen but partly covered with moulds. Nevertheless, some fragments could be found which under the binocular lens show the important characters of C. hispanica. A few spores could be examined, they show correct shape (subglobose) and size (exospore 33-36 microm diameter) for C. hispanica. Det. H. Rabach & T. Reichstein, 2.4.1979
