Description

Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Conidiomata pycnidial, scattered, substomatal, globose to subglobose, dark brown, ostiolate, 0.1 mm in diameter; on small (2–4 mm in diameter) rounded or angular pale brown necrotic spots with a dark red to purplish border, mainly on the lower surfaces of leaves; conidia often ooze from the ostiole and form dark brown masses on the leaf. Conidia oval to cylindrical, 3-septate, 22–26 × 8–11 μm, dark brown, verruculose, apex rounded, base truncate.

Distribution

Notes

Pathogenicity

Significance: Teleomorph has not been recorded in New Zealand. Park & Keane (1984) have shown that this fungus is pathogenic to Eucalyptus cladocalyx and E. globulus. It causes little damage in New Zealand.; Host(s): Eucalyptus globulus subsp. globulus, E. nitens.
