Maculae in epiphyllo minutae, griseolae, indeterminatae, parum manifestae, in hypophyllo fere aequales vel nullae; perithecia tantum hypophylla, in greges minutos ½-1½ mm diam. plerumque angulatos et nervulis limitatos densissime coacervata, subepidermica, conicoglobulosa, atra, 60-70 µ diam., semper tecta, papillata, parenchymatice e cellulis olivaceo-fuscis 5-6 µ diam. contexta, papillula epidermidem elevantia sed non vel vix perforantia, mycelio sterili in toto parenchymate folii copiose evoluto ex hyphis fuscis valde inaequalibus 4-7 µ crassis constante; asci fasciculati, sessiles vel subsessiles, cylindracei vel clavato-cylindracei, 35-42 x 8-10 µ, octospori, aparaphysati; sporae distichae, oblongae, ad apicem rotundatae, basim versus leniter attenuatae sed obtusae, medio 1-septatae, non constrictae, hyalinae, 10-12 x 2-2½ µ, loculo supero semper leniter crassiore.

Von den zahlreichen auf Rubus vorkommenden Arten der Gattung stimmt keine einzige mit der vorliegenden überein, welche durch die in kleinen Herden sehr dicht gedrängt stehenden Perithezien und die schmalen Sporen gekennzeichnet ist.
