Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Ascomata stromatic, perithecial, scattered, subepidermal, circular, brown, very dark above the locules, up to 0.1 mm in diameter. Stromata solitary or in small groups, occupying more or less the whole of small leaf spots, pushing up the leaf surface and giving it a distinctly roughened appearance. Leaf spots small (up to 2 mm in diameter), circular, pale brown with a pale purple margin, occur on both sides of leaves but are more numerous on the upper surface. Asci pear-shaped, 70–85 × 25–35 μm. Ascospores cylindrical, 3-septate, 30–45 × 4–5 μm, hyaline, with a gelatinous coat.

Distribution: Northland, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Taupo, Wanganui, Wellington, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay, Nelson.; 1st Record: Dick (1990).

Significance: Although capable of invading living tissue, the fungus causes little damage.; Host(s): Eucalyptus botryoides, E. fastigata, E. obliqua, E. viminalis.
