　Description： Leaf spots suborbicular to irregular, reddish brown to dingy grey brown, sometimes with a dark brown margin, confluent, 2-10 mm wide. Fruiting amphigenous. Secondary mycelium external, hypophyllous, copious: hyphae subhyaline to very pale olivaceous, repent, close septate, 1.5-3 μm wide, bearing secondary conidiophores as lateral branches. Stromata subglobose, immersed, olivaceous brown, 15-40 μm wide. Primary conidiophores densely fasciculate on the stromata, very pale olivaceous, slightly undulate, rarely septate, not branched, 0-2 mildly geniculate, conically rounded at the apex, 10-30 × 2-3 μm; conidial scars unthickened. Secondary conidiophores borne on external secondary conidiophores, similar to the primary ones, 5-15x2-3 μm. Conidia subhyaline or very pale olivaceous, cylindric to filiform or cylindro-obclavate, substraight to curved, indistinctly 1-9 septate, subacute to subobtuse at the apex, obconic to obconically truncate at the base, 10-80 × 2- 3 μm; hilum unthickened and inconspicuous.
