ThreatenedTaxa 3(3): 1615, 2011 (Fig. 20).Colonies amphigenous, dense, velvety, up to 3mmdiam., rarely confluent. Hyphae straight, substraight toundulating, branching mostly opposite at wide angles,loosely to closely reticulate, cells 22–30 x 7–10 μm.Appressoria alternate, unilateral, about 10% opposite,antrorse to subantrorse, rarely retrorse, 12–25 μm long;stalk cells cylindrical to cuneate, 2–8 μm long; head cellsovate, globose, entire, 10–18 x 7–13 μm. Phialides mixedwith appressoria, alternate, opposite, ampulliform, 15–23 x 5–8 μm. Perithecia loosely grouped at the centreof the colony, up to 210μm in diam.; perithecial wallcells mammiform to conoid, 17–28 μm long; ascosporesoblong to ellipsoidal, 4-septate, constricted at the septa,45–48 x 22–25 μm.dabb10µma7µmc8µmdcFigure 20.
