Ecology: Biotroph; phytopathogenic; growing on leaves, amphigenous. Host or Phorophyte Taxonomy: Trifolium medium L.; Trifolium, Leguminosae-Papilionoideae.

Reproduction Strategy: With sexual (and possible asexual) stages. Ascocarps: Cleistothecioid (dorsiventral), orbicular, forming independently from the host thallus or mycelium, scattered or gregarious, (.08)-.09-.15-(.18) mm in diam.. Margin: External filaments present ((5-)10-25(-40) µm long, horizontally spread or sometimes with a tendency to turn towards one direction); interlaced with each other (sometimes), mycelioid or setiform, straight, 2-6 µm long, 5-12.5 µm in diameter, hyaline or more or less pigmented (yellowish to brown in the lower part, paler to hyaline upwards), numerous, 2-12 per mm², growing more or less between the lower and upper hald of the ascocarp, flexuose or geniculate (bent), smooth or rough, thin or moderatly thick (towards the base, rarely thin-walled throughout or moderately thick-walled throughout), not ramified or ramified, dichotomously branched (a varying percentage of the appendages, 1-2 times, very rarely 3 times, branchings loose, widely forked, tips straight, sometimes forked near the base or in the lower half), septate (usually, few septa (ca. 1-6), from the middle downward, sometimes reaching the upper half).

Asci: 3-12 asci per ascocarp, not stipitate or indistinctly stipitate, 45-80 µm long, 25-50 µm wide; dehiscence unitunicate.

Ascospores: 1–2, c. 4, or c. 8 per ascus, spores (2)-3-5-(6) per ascus, ellipsoid or ovoid, 18-30 µm long, 10-16 µm wide; septa absent.

Conidiomata: Present; hyphomycetous.

Conidiophores: Pseudoidium-type; not branched; basal cells (15)-25-38-(55) µm long, 6.5-9 µm wide. Conidium Formation: Conidiogenous cells single. Conidia: Ellipsoid (lenght and width measured in fresh state), doliiform, or cylindrical; macroconidial, not branched, 30-45-(50) µm long, 16-21 µm wide; aseptate.
