Leaf spots none or indefinite on upper surface. Fruiting amphigenous, more abundant on lower surface, pale olivaceous or grayish, effuse, irregularly covering here and there or often confluent and covers the whole leaf surface.

Conidia pale olivaceous, smooth, subcylindrical to cylindro-obclavate, straight or slightly curved, 3-5 septate, sometimes constricted at the septa, subobtuse to bluntly rounded at the apex, obconically truncate at the base, 30-50 × 3.5-5 μm; hilum unthickened.

Note：
The host of Cercospora phyllanthi Sawada is not Phyllanthus niruri L. as labeled by Sawada on the type packet. This fungus differs from Cercospora phyllanthi Chupp by its wider conidia and conidiophores and other minor differences. Although there are several characters unlike those of Chupp's species, Deighton (Mycol. Pap. 71, 3-10, 1959) placed this fungus as a geographical variant of C. phyllanthi Chupp.
