Leaf spots at first yellowish irregular to subelliptic areas of variable size, later confluent and becoming larger, reddish or purplish brown, elongated or irregular, up to 5 mm long. In later stages, the infected leaves may become straw coloured and dried up, shrive and die prematurely. Fruiting amphigenous, but mostly hypophyllous, forming a brown mould-like covering. Stromata small, composed of a few brown cells, about 20 μm wide. Secondary mycelium external: hyphae pale olivaceous, repent, smooth, 2-3 μm wide, arising as branches from the base of the fasciculate primary conidiophores and bearing secondary conidiophores as lateral branches. Conidiophores up to 15 in a fascicle and arising singly from the external secondary mycelial hyphae, pale to medium olivaceous brown, paler towards the apex, erect, geniculate, multiseptate, simple or rarely branched, 30-195 × 4.5-7 μm; conidial scars conspicuously thickened, 1.5-2 μm wide. Conidia hyaline to pale olivaceous, fusiform to obclavate, nearly all straight, 1-7 (mostly 3-) septate, not constricted, not catenulate, conic at the apex, obconic or obconically truncate at the base with a thickened hilum, 20-67 × 4-6.5 μm.
