Colony superficial, effuse, black, hairy. Mycelium immersed, composed of pale brown to brown, smooth, septate hyphae 1.5-4.5 µm wide. Conidiophores solitary and scattered or in groups of 2 to 4, simple, erect, more or less cylindrical, brown to dark brown, with smooth walls1.0-1.5 µm thick, 180-315 µm long, usually inflated and up to 15 µm wide at the immediate base, then 8-11 µm wide and 3- to 5-septate, terminating in a phialide. Phialides subcylindrical, 115-180 µm long, composed of a very slightly inflated venter 37-53 µm long and 10-14 µm wide and a collarette 70-130 µm long which expands slightly to 13.5 -15.3 µm wide toward the apex. Phialides are brown to dark brown with a diffuse darker brown zone around the base of the collarette and also below its paler, torn, and frilled apex. Phialoconidia of two kinds. The first-formed conidium is long-cylindrical, bluntly rounded at the apex and obconical at the base, 11- to 17-septate, with the septa mostly transverse, but with one or a few oblique, pale brown to brown, except for the hyaline to subhyaline basal cell. They measure 85-126 x (6-)7-9 µm. Subsequent conidia are fusiform or slightly sigmoid, with the basal cell generally more tapered than the apical one, which is bluntly rounded, predominantly 7- septate, but occasionally 3- to 5-, or more, rarely 8-septate: septa are thick and dark, and the end cells are hyaline to subhyaline with the penultimate cells occasionally paler than the uniformly brown median cells. The 7-septate conidia are (50-)60-72 x 9-10 µm, and the occasional 3-septate ones 36-38 x 7.2-8.3 µm.

Habitat: on bark of dead Weinmannia racemosa.
