Description: | Colonies on corn-meal agar light yellow, growing sparsely; vegetative hyphae colorless, septate, thin walled; rhizoids present; sporangiophores scattred, yellowish, erect, irregularly branched, mostly 10-17.5 μm in diam, up to 1 cm or more high, smooth, thick-walled, with conspicuous septa, branching several times, tapering above and terminating in a single sporocladium, usually over severn sporocladia present on one sporophore; sporocladia usually arranged in a zigzag pattern on the sporangiophore axes, 13-39 × 18-47 μm, sessile, non-septate, dome-shaped, bearing numerous pseudophialides crowded over the upper surfaces; pseudophialides ellipsoidal, 6-8× 2-3 μm, with small apical projections bearing the sporangiola; sporangiola nearly hyaline, elongate-clavate, 19-25 (aver. 22) × 3.8-4.2 μm, enveloped in liquid at maturity ; sporangial wall projecting about 2-3 μm beyond the apex of the spore as a hyaline enlargement of the tip; sporangiospores lanceolate, 16-22 (aver. 19) × 3.8-4.2 μm near the base, uniformly tapered to the acute apices, round below. Zygospores not observed. Colonies on potato-dextrose agar maize yellow, vegatative hyphae branching irregularly, growing luxiously, sporangiophores rare, bearing relatively less sporocladia than on CMA, usually less than three sporocladia forming on one sporangiophore. | |||

Note: | This species is distinguished from the relative species L. .macrospora by it’s smaller (16-22 × 3.8-4.2 μm) sporangiospores, which is larger (26-36 x 3-5 μm) in the later one (Chang, 1967). | |||
