Abstract
Bertia convolutispora sp. nov. (Nitschkiaceae, ascomycetes) is describ ed from submerged wood in streams in Australia and Brunei. Bertia conv olutispora is characterized by superficial ascomata, clavate asci with a very long pedicel and an apical ring and semi-helicoid ascospores. The ascospore shape is thought to be an adaptation for attachment in t he aquatic environment and this is further discussed.
