Leaf spots suborbicular to irregular, 2-14 mm wide, reddish to yellowish brown, without distinct border. Fruiting chiefly epiphyllous. Stromata 15-35 μm wide, dark brown.

| Note： |
Pseudocercospora blumeae (Thümen) Deighton differs from this fungus by its rela-tively longer conidiophores (up to 200 μm in length) which are irregular in width and its conidia which are mostly obclavate with the bases long obconically truncate. Cercospora blumeae-lacerae Sawada is synonymous to Pseudocercospora blumeae (Thümen) Deighton. | |||
