Description: | Leaf spots angular to suborbicular, vein-limited, dingy grey brown, with sometimes with an indefinite darker border, 2-5 mm wide. Fruiting amphigenous, punctiform. Secondary mycelium absent. Stromata none or up to 55 μm wide, dark brown, immersed. Conidiophores 2-18 in a fascicle, pale olivaceous brown, paler towards the apex, irregular in width, straight or sinuous, not branched, 1-3 septate, constricted at the septa, 0-2 geniculate, conically truncate at the apex, 10-60 × 3-5 μm, conidial scars unthickened. Conidia subhyaline or pale olivaceous, cylindric or obclavato-cylindric, straight to slightly curved, 2-7 septate, obtuse at the apex, subtruncate to short obconically truncate at the base, 25-70 × 2-4 μm; hilum unthickened. | |||

Note: | Cercospora lythracearum Heald & Wolf (Mycologia 3:18, 1911) differs from this fungus by its non-septate conidiophores and obclavate conidia. The two species on Lagerstroemia subcostata published by Sawada are synonymous because they merely differ from each other by their respective leaf spots and septation of conidia. | |||
