　Description： Leaf spots angular to irregular, vein-limited but without a distinct border, grayish to dark brown, 0.5-3 mm wide. Fruiting amphigenous, but more abundant on the lower surface. Secondary mycelium external: hyphae pale olivaceous, 1.5-2.5 μm wide, bearing secondary conidiophores as side branches. Stromata subglobose, brown, up to 40 μm wide. Primary conidiophores densely fasciculate, subhyaline to very pale olivaceous, branching and geniculation absent, very rarely septate, rounded at the apex, 5-15 × 1.5-3 μm, conidial scars inconspicuous. Secondary conidiophores similar in respect to the primary conidiophores, borne singly on the procumbent hyphae. Conidia subhyaline, acicular to narrowly obclavate, some cylindric, straight to slightly curved, indistinctly multiseptate, conic or narrowly rounded at the apex, truncate or obconically truncate at the base, 20-80 × 2-3 μm.

　Note： This fungus differs from Cercospora guailicensis Young (Mycologia 8:45, 1916) on Caesalpioia crista L. by the absence of thickened spore scars and the presence of secondary mycelium, and by its relatively narrower, very pale conidiophores. Cercospora bakeriana Saccardo (Ann. Mycol. 12:313, 1914) is a true Cercospora which differs from this fungus by its darkly coloured conidiophores with thickened conidial scars and by its hyaline, acicular conidia. Cercoseptoria caesalpiniae Yen, Kar & Das (Mycotaxon, 1982) differs from this fungus by its cylindric conidia.
