 Description: On 1/3 MEA, colonies growing slowly, pale yellow. Sporangiophores slender, at first ascending, some grow to the Petri-dish cover in one week, later prostrate on the agar media surface, simple or occasionally irregularly branched, over 1.5 cm high, 8.0-17.0 μm in diameter, bearing the sporocladia close together in clusters of 2-15, often continuing to grow and to produce after a brief interval, additional clusters of sporocladia. Sporocladia stipe 1-celled, 10.7-13 .0 × 3.8-5.3 μm. Sporocladia 9-12 septate, (29.0-)37.8-45.4(-50) × 6.3-7.6 μm, the basal cell angularly upturned so that the sporocladia approximately parallel to the main axis of the sporangiophore, the terminal cell sterile and recurved. Pseudophialides ovoid or elongate ellipsoid, (2.2-)4.0-5.0 × 1.8-2.2 μm. Sporangiospores narrow-fusoid or subcylindrical, (11.3-)12.0-15.0 × 1.9-2.5(-3.0) μm.

 Note: This species is characterized by the sporocladia which are occurring in cluster and the conidia are shorter and stouter and not so sharply pointed at the ends.
