Original description
Sori in all ovaries of an infected inflorescence, ellipsoidal with a short acute tip, 0.5-0.8 x 1-1.3 mm, partly hidden by the floral envelopes and covered by a dark brown pericarp which ruptures disclosing the blackish brown, powdery mass of spores and sterile cells. Spores globose or subglobose, 21-24 × 21-24 µm, pale to dark olivaceous brown; wall 3.5-4.5 µm thick including the 2.5-3.5(-4) µm high spines, embedded in a hyaline sheath. Spines 29-36 on the spore circumference, in SEM appearing as densely situated warts. Sterile cells globose, ovoid, ellipsoidal, 8-13 × 9.5-15 µm, hyaline, wall 1.5-2 µm thick, smooth or with a trace of ornamentation. |
