　Description： Host covered with dense mycelium, typically pulvinate, granular-pulverulent, sometimes funiculose, rarely producing synnemata, white to yellowish white (4A2). Hyphae hyaline, smooth, 1.6-2.9 μm wide, bearing groups of swollen lateral cells, globose, ellipsoidal to subcylindrical, 4.0-6.8 × 2.9-4.8 μm, further branching, giving rise to smaller swollen cells or 1-3 conidiogenous cells in the first or second order, occasionally conidiogenous cells occurring in small groups on lateral cells, or solitary arising from the hyphae. Co-nidiogenous cells consisting of a globose to flask-shaped, sometimes elongate basal part, 2.5-5.2 × 1.9-2.6 μm, terminal cells mostly slender, forming a well developed rachis, shorter than 6.0 μm, or up to 20 μm, 0.6-1.2 μm wide, geniculate or irregularly bent, denticulate, forming a zig-zag structure, denticles thinner than the rachis, about 0.4 μm long. Conidia globose to subglobose or ovoid, (1.9)2.4-3.2(3.6) × 1.9-3.0 μm, base sometimes slightly apiculate, hyaline, smooth-walled.
