Forming little specks on the leaves, consisting of a few crowded, subglobose, opaque, dark brown perithecia, without any trace of blue, either altogether destitute of any distinct orifice, or with a slight papillaeform prominence. Asci subcylindric; sporidia composed of two opposed cones, about 1/1500 of an inch long.

peritheciis aggregatis subglobosis astomis vel ore leviter prominulo opacis, ascis subcylindricis, sporidiis oblongis utrinque attenuatis curvulis uniseptatis.

On leaves of Leucopogon Fraseri, principally on the under surface. Mission Station, Colenso.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] = Rosenscheldiella pullulans. This is the Mycosphaerella-like pathogen quite common on Epacridaceae leaves. There are several collections in K (filed as Lizonia pullulans), mostly from Australia. There are a couple of NZ specimens in the type folder, one numbered 1209, the other labelled "New Zealand, Colenso" Nectria ferruginea Cooke, an Australian species is a synonym, fide Dingley notes in K. The Australian material in K matches biologically and macroscopically. Australian material often with rusty coloured layer across perithecia, this due to appearance of the epidermal layer as it folds back as ascoma becomes erumpent.
