Saccharatae proteae similis, sed conidiis minoribus, (17-)18-20(-22) x (3.5-)5-6 µm.
Original description
Conidiomata on potato-dextrose agar (PDA) pycnidial, black, up to 300 ?m diam, with a single, central ostiole; wall consisting of 2-3 layers of brown textura angularis. Conidiophores subcylindrical, hyaline, smooth, frequently reduced to conidiogenous cells or branched in apical part, 1-2-septate, 10-20 × 2-3.5 µm.
Conidiogenous cells terminal, subcylindrical, hyaline, 10-15 × 2-3 µm; apex with periclinal thickening, rarely with percurrent proliferation. Paraphyses intermingled among conidiophores, unbranched hyaline, smooth, 0-1-septate, 2-3 µm wide, extending above conidiophores. Conidia hyaline, smooth, fusiform to narrowly ellipsoid, apex subobtuse, base truncate with minute marginal frill, minutely guttulate, thin-walled, (17-)18-20(-22) × (3.5-)5-6 µm.
Etymology
Named after its conidial dimensions, which are intermediate in size between those of S. proteae and S. kirstenboschensis.
