Taxonomic Literature: Taxonomic notes: +ascocarp outer wall cells irregularly polygonal, 7.5-23 µm diam.;. Braun U., Beih. Nova Hedwigia 89: 1-700 [228] (1987).
Biogeography: Continent: Asia-Temperate. Region(s): China (endemic).
Ecology: Biotroph; phytopathogenic; growing on stems or leaves, amphigenous. Host or Phorophyte Taxonomy: Symplocos paniculata (Thunb.) Miq.; Symplocos, Symplocaceae.
Reproduction Strategy: With sexual (and possible asexual) stages. Ascocarps: Cleistothecioid, orbicular, forming independently from the host thallus or mycelium, in loose groups or gregarious, (.07)-.08-.11-(.12) mm in diam.. Margin: External filaments present (width often decreasing upwards, mostly somewhat pointed at the apex, rarely obtuse); mycelioid, straight (apex mostly somewhat pointed, rarely obtuse), (.5)-1-2.5-(3.5) µm long, (4)-5-7.5-(10) µm in diameter, pigmented (more or less brown, paler upwards), numerous, (4)-8-21-(27) per mm², growing all across the lower half of the ascocarp, flexuose (to tortuous; 3: sometimes) or sub-geniculate (bent), rough (throughout), thin, not ramified or ramified, irregular, septate.
Asci: 2-4-(5) asci per ascocarp, not stipitate or indistinctly stipitate, (48)-53-66-(74) µm long, (33)-43-58.5-(63.5) µm wide; dehiscence unitunicate.
Ascospores: c. 4 or c. 8 per ascus, spores 4-6-(7) per ascus, ellipsoid or ovoid, (20)-23-26.5-(29) µm long, (12)-13-15-(17) µm wide; septa absent; wall pale brown (yellowish).
Conidiomata: Present; hyphomycetous.
Conidiophores: Pseudoidium-type; not branched. Conidium Formation: Conidiogenous cells single. Conidia: Ovoid, doliiform, or sub-cylindrical; macroconidial, not branched, 20-38 µm long, 12-16.5 µm wide; aseptate.
