Conidiophores arise from a small black stroma and are in compact or loose fascicles tip to 450µm long. They are cylindrical throughout, 4.5-6um wide, dark brown and only slightly paler at the apex with the distal. conidiogenous cell not particularly longer than the ones below. Conidia are similar to those of the type variety but the basal scars are only 4.5-6um wide and bear a minute fringe following a regular break toward the apex of the conidiogenous cell or of the one to four successive percurrent proliferations which can follow conidium secession. Conidia measure 36-41.5 X 16.2-20um.

A typo sic differt: conidiophora in fasciculi, compactis vel solutis disposita, ad 450um longa, atro brunnea, cylindrica. 4.5-6um )at., apicem versus nullo modo inflata. in conidium singulum terminantia. Conidia apice rotundata, cellulis duobus interioribus majorilbus atrobrunneis vel binis minoribus successive pallidioribus cellula basali pa lide brunnea, cicatrice plana subfimbriata 4.5-6µm praedita
