　Description： Colonies on corn meal agar effused, orange white to pale orange; reverse dull orange-white to dull orange shades. Mycelium mostly immersed in the substratum, composed of smooth, branched, septate, hyaline hyphae. Conidiophores macronematous, mononematous, arising singly or 3-5 in a group from mycelium or intercalary moniliform cells, slender, straight or slightly flexuous, smooth, septate, hyaline to light pale brown, 70-160 μm high, cylindrical to subulate, tapered toward the end, with thick-walled swollen base, 4.3-11 μm wide, simple or rarely branched. Conidiogenous cells monoblastic, integrated, terminal, tapered toward apex, with up to 10 percurrent proliferations. Conidia solitary, dry, acrogenous, ovoid or broadly oblong, 12.2-21.3 × 5.8-9.2 μm bearing a basal narrow, cylindrical protuberant ab-scission scar, 0.4-1.6 μm long and 2 μm wide; conidial wall up to 1.6 μm thick, smooth, hyaline, 3-septate; septa up to 1.3 μm thick.

　Note： Hughes (1979) redefined Endophragmiella to include only species in which conidia secede rhexolytically and in which conidiogenous cells proliferate percurrently from the penultimate cell of conidiophores. Conidium secession and percurrent proliferations could be divided into three major models. First, like E. pallescens, the break in the wall of the co-nidiogenous cell is well below the apex, resulting in a conspicuous frill around the conidium scar. Second, as in E. boewei (Crane) Hughes, the mature conidium secedes by a clean, rhexolytic break at a visible line of dehiscence just below the base of the conidium. The conidium, therefore, is not ornamented with a prominent basal frill. Third, in some Endo-phragmiella species a septum may fail to develop during proliferation, so that no new conidiogenous cell is delimited. Thus, the conidiogenous cells continue to elongate after completion of conidiogenesis and bear longer linear fragments (Hughes, 1979). In E. achro-matica, more or less similar to E. albiziae (Ellis) Hughes, E. boewei, or E. eboracensis Sut-ton, at first the apex of the conidiophore expands into a conidial initial.
