Descriptions:	Latin diagnosis Sporisorium christineae differt a specie Sporisorium guaraniticum (Speg.) Vánky (Mycotaxon 35: 155, 1989), ei proxime propinquo sporis parum dimorphicis, pariete sporarum 2,5-4 µm crasso et superficie libera sporarum humiliter verruculosa in imagine obliqua sporarum conspicua, sporis definite dimorphicis, pariete earum 0,5-1,5 µm crasso, superficie sporarum libera conspicue verrucosa-echinulata imagine obliqua sporarum leniter subserrulata. Original description Sori destroying all racemes in the inflorescence, narrow-cylindrical, 0.5-1 x 15-30 mm, completely hidden by the spatheolae from which a filiform, twisted, up to 70 mm long columella is protruding. Spore balls subglobose, ovoid, ellipsoidal, elongated or irregular, 45-100 x 50-130 µm, dark reddish brown, composed of tens of spores that separate easily by pressure. Spores dimorphic, outer spores subglobose, ellipsoidal, or slightly irregular, 12-15 × 13-17.5 µm, reddish brown with paler and darker areas; wall uneven, 0.5-1.5 µm, thickest at the angles and contact sides, evidently verrucose-echinulate on the free surface, spore profile finely subserrulate. Inner spores subglobose, ellipsoidal to rounded subpolyhedrally irregular, about the size of the outer spores, paler, apparently smooth; wall unevenly c. 0.5-1 µm thick, accordingly the spores have paler and darker areas. Sterile cells absent.
