SUMMARY
Anamorph: conidiomata pycnidia, 80-120 µm diam., ± globose, with a broad, hardly papillate apical region and opening by irregular breakdown of the wall; black, immersed in or slightly erumpent from the host tissues. Conidiomatal wall thick, composed of thick-walled dark brown angular cells. Conidiophores hardly differentiated, formed from the inner layer of the conidiomatal wall, pale brown, smooth to verrucose, sometimes branched at the base. Conidiogenous cells mostly not well differentiated from the conidiophore, hyaline to blue-grey or brown, smooth, breaking at the apex with a minute collarette to allow development of of an umbranched fragmenting chain of conidia with the oldest at the apex. Conidia 6.5-9 x 3-3.5 µm, cylindrical to narrowly doliiform, both ends broadly truncate except for the first (apical) conidium which is rounded at the apex, aseptate, ± thick-walled, dark blue-green when young, eventually pale to mid brown, smooth to minutely verrucose, usually biguttulate, without a perispore or gelatinous sheath.
Teleomorph: not known.
