This species of Meliola is well characterized by the dichotomously forked 

 setae. The setae are about 100-150, m long to the first fork. The prongs 

 are usually 50-75 n long and then again forked with prongs 10-20 ^ in 

 length.

Most of the spores are immature and the dimensions of the asci given 

 above are of those containing immature spores.
