　Description： Colonies on MEA at 50°C, thin, margin undulate, white to pale gray green, reaching 32 mm in 7 days; reverse buff yellow. On CYA at 50°C, thick, margin irregular, mycelium white, cameo pink to rhodonite, forming sectors, attaining 57 mm in 7 days; reverse yellowish olive, white. Conidiophores: Stipes hyaline, smooth, some contain pale yellowish fatty bodies, septate, bearing penicilli irregularly at the apex, 10.2-62 × 1.3-3.2 μm. Penicilli monoverticillate or symmetrical-biverticillate; Phialide 2-4, rarely 5, 1.3-2.6 × 6.7-15 μm; metula 2-4, 1.3-3.2 × 6-10 μm; some ramulate 12.8-31.4 × 1.5-3.8 μm. Conidia, smooth, elliptical, pale yellowish green, 1.9-3.7 × 2.6-5.8 μm. No teleomorph has been found, so far in present study.

　Note： Temperature relations: Growing very quickly on PDA than on MEA and CYA, reaching 92 mm at 50°C in 7 days, in contrast, on MEA only attaining 32 mm, on CYA attaining 57 mm in 7 days respectively; but colonies on PDA, very thin. The minimum temperature is 30°C. At 50°C, the rate of growth is faster than other tempera-ture (30°C, 37°C, 40°C).
