Cellulae conidiogenae 4-15 x 2.5-4 ìm, denticulis nonnullis brevibus conspicuois apicalibus, 1-1.5 ìm longis, 1 ìm latis proliferentes; conidia rhexolytice liberata. Conidia dilute brunnea, levia, longa obclavata, ad basim vestigio circulari praedita, (18-)50-70(-95) x 3(-3.5) µm, 3-5(-10)-septata. Typus: South Africa, KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, Botanical Garden near Reunion, on leaves of Strelitzia sp., 5 Feb. 2005, collected by W. Gams & H. Glen, CBS-H 19776, holotypus; culture ex-type X1039 = CBS 120037. Original description (Arzanlou, M.; Crous, P.W. 2006, Fungal Planet no. 8) Description: Mycelium superficial, consisting of smooth, septate, branched hyphae, 2-3 µm diam. Conidiophores erect, solitary, arising from aerial and submerged mycelium, subcylindrical, straight to geniculous-sinuous, pale brown, concolorous with hyphae, smooth, 0-1(-5)-septate, 4-15(-40) x 2.5-4 µm. Conidiogenous cells terminal, integrated, pale brown, concolorous with conidiophore, frequently rejuvenating percurrently, proliferating apically via several short, conspicuous denticles, 1-1.5 µm long, 1 µm wide; conidiogenesis rhexolytic with remnants of separating cell clearly visible on conidiogenesis cell, rarely visible on conidial hilum as a minute marginal frill, 4-15 x 2.5-4 µm. Conidia pale brown, smooth, long obclavate, widest in middle of basal cell, tapering to a subobtusely rounded apex and obconically subtruncate base with minute marginal frill, 1 µm wide, (18-)50-70(-95) x 3(-3.5) µm, 3-5(-10)-septate; microcyclic conidiation present in culture. Cultural characteristics: Colonies on 2 % malt extract agar (Oxoid) erumpent with moderate aerial mycelium and regular, smooth margins, reaching 15 mm diam after 2 weeks at 25 °C; surface olivaceous-grey, reverse iron-grey; on oatmeal agar flat, spreading, with sparse aerial mycelium, reaching 20 mm diam after 2 weeks at 25 °C; surface grey-olivaceous; colonies fertile.
