　Description： Colony diameters on Czapek’s Agar 6.0-6.5 cm in 14 days at 25°C, more or less floccose; conidial heads somewhat crowded, radiate or splitting into columns, amber brown to antique brown, orange-citrine, buffy citrine, dresden brown (R., Plate III, IV, XVI, XV); mycelium white; exudate uncolored; reverse colorless; stipes 150-2030 × 4.4-28.0 μm, rough, uncolored; vesicles pyriform to subglobose, 10.0-69.0 μm wide. Aspergilla uniseriate, biseriate, or both present in the same vesicle; metulae covering 3/4 to the whole surface of the vesicle, 6.4-25.4 × 5.2-12.0 μm; phialides 5.6-23.8 × 4.0-7.5 μm. Conidia globose to subglobose or ovoid at maturity, 3.8-8.0 μm, with irregularly roughened to tuberculate walls. Colony diameters on Malt Extract Agar 6.5-7.0 cm in 14 days at 25°C; conidial heads loosely columnar to radiate, citrine to orange-citrine, or olive lake to buffy citrine to dark isabella color (R., Plate IV, XVI, XXX); mycelium white; reverse uncolored to light buff (R., Plate XV).

　Note： A. flavo-furcatis, A. tamarii and A. wentii are fairly closely related in conidial surface ornamentations under light microscopy. However, colonies of A. flavo-furcatis are deep brown, more or less floccose, while A. tamarii are brownish with green shades, floccose. A. flavo-furcatis and A. tamarii can be distinguished from A. wentii by conidia surface ornamentations under scanning electron microscopy, the former two species are very rough to tuberculate, while the latter are rough to irregularly roughened.
