Taxonomic Literature: Taxonomic notes: +conidiophores foot-cells twisted, spiral, followed by shorter cells;+ascomata outer wall cells irregularly polygonal, ca. 8-20 µm diam.;+penicillate cells well developed, ca. 40-60 µm long;. Braun U., Beih. Nova Hedwigia 89: 1-700 [594] (1987).
Biogeography: Continent: Asia-Temperate, Southern America (Argentina), and Asia-Tropical. Region(s): China. Country or state(s): India and Pakistan.
Ecology: Biotroph; phytopathogenic; growing on leaves, hypophyllous (mostly) or amphigenous. Host or Phorophyte Taxonomy: Dalbergia sissoo Roxb.; Dalbergia, Leguminosae-Papilionoideae.
Reproduction Strategy: With sexual (and possible asexual) stages. Ascocarps: Cleistothecioid, orbicular, forming independently from the host thallus or mycelium, scattered or in loose groups, (.14)-.16-.21 mm in diam.. Margin: External filaments present (bulbous base ca. 25-45 µm diam.); not interlaced, straight, .8-1-1.2 µm long, numerous, 6-19 per mm², growing between the lower and upper hald of the ascocarp, stiff and straight, not ramified.
Asci: 5-15 asci per ascocarp, distinctly stipitate, 40-80 µm long, 20-35 µm wide; dehiscence unitunicate.
Ascospores: 12 per ascus, spores 2 per ascus, ellipsoid or ovoid, (20)-25-35 µm long, 18-25 µm wide; septa absent.
Conidiomata: Present; hyphomycetous.
Conidiophores: Ovulariopsis-type; not branched. Conidium Formation: Conidiogenous cells single. Conidia: More or less clavate; macroconidial (germ tubes at an end of the spore, short and narrow, straight or hooked, apex without appressorium or with a slight, unlobed appressorium), not branched, 50-90 µm long, (10)-13-24 µm wide; aseptate.
