　Description： Leaf spots angular to irregular, vein-limited, scattered, 1-2 mm wide, often confluent and up to 6 mm wide, grayish brown on upper surface, very pale brown on lower surface. Fruiting hypophyllous, abundant. Stromata slight to well developed, 25-60 μm wide, globose, substomatal or erumpent, dark brown.

Conidia hyaline, cylindric to cylindro-obclavate, straight to mildly curved, 2-6 septate, not constricted at the septa, subacute to subobtuse at the apex, obconic to obconically truncate at the base, 15-55 × 2-3 μm; hilum unthickened and inconspicuous.

　Note： This fungus and Cercospora chionanthi-retusi Togashi & Katsuki (Sci. Repts. Yokohama nat. Univ. Sect. II. 1:1, 1952) may be synonymous. The species on this host recorded in Taiwan by Chen (1966) is Cercospora chionanthi Ellis & Everhart (Field Col. Mus. Bot. Ser. 1:94, 1896), however it differs from this fungus by its relatively wider, darker conidiophores and conidia, and by the large circular leaf spots it causes on the host.
