Description: | 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. Co-nidiophores up to 25 in a fascicle, cylindric, pale to medium brown, uniform in colour and width, straight to curved, not branched, 1-3 septate, 0-1 geniculate, rounded to truncate at the apex, 15-70 × 4-5 μm; conidial scars unthickened. Conidia mostly cylindrical, rarely aciculo-obclavate, pale olivaceous brown, straight to slightly curved, 3-14 septate, subobtuse to broadly rounded at the apex, subtruncate to long obconically truncate at the base, 30-110 × 3.5-5.5 μm; hilum unthickened. | |||

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. | |||
