Hyphae septate, hyaline, smooth-walled, irregularly branched, 1.2-4.0 μm wide. Synnemata simple, cylindrical, acuminate, pubescent, curved, occasionally dichotomously branched, concolorus with the mycelium, 1.9-5.2 mm long, 240-280 μm in diam., consisting of longitudinal parallel, fasciculate hyphae. Conidiophores mono- or synnematous, septate, cylindrical to linear, integrate, erect or prostrate, simple, dichotomously or irregularly branched, of variable length. Conidiogenous cells apically or laterally scattered along the length of conidiophore, (19.8-)25.4-67.5 (-94.0) × 1.3-2.0 μm, bearing a rather irregular, geniculate, denticulate rachis, denticles inconspicuous, 0.5-0.8 × 0.8 μm. Conidia forming on denticles, sympodial, ellipsoidal to fusiform, with a pointed base, end apiculate, hyaline, smooth-walled, one-celled, 3.2-4.8 × 1.6-2.0 μm. Chlamydospores absent.
