Foliicolous. Conidiomata stromatic, pycnidioid, amphigenous, scattered to gregarious and confluent, intra-epidermal in origin, at first immersed, becoming erumpent, elongate oval to irregular, in section broadly conical, up to 300 µm long, 170-230 µm wide, and 90-140 µm deep, irregularly plurilocular with convoluted locules, glabrous, dark brown to black, initially closed, ultimately with one to three, circular to oval, 30-40 µm diam. apertures in the apical wall, covered with a pearl white or creamy, gloeoid globule or cirrhus of conidia; wall 15-20 µm thick, concolorous for the most part, of "textura angularis" of dark brown, thick-walled cells. Conidiophores lining the locules, reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells annellides, subcylindrical to conical, mostly hyaline, occasionally dark below, smooth walled, 5-8 x 2-4 (x = 6.5 x 2.9) µm, proliferating percurrently two or three times, invested in mucus. Conidia blastic-annellidec, amerosporous, fusiform with somewhat apiculate ends, hyaline, smooth walled, 8.5-14 x 3-4.5 (mean = 11.5 x 3.9) µm, bearing funnel-shaped to irregular, mucoid appendages at both ends.

KNOWN DISTRIBUTION: New Zealand.

HABITAT: On leaves of Podocarpus totara G. Bern. ex D. Don.
