Differs from F. discolor by absence of red color in mycelium and sub- 

 stratum, and by entirely exposed pseudopionnotes on various agars, a 

 characteristic culture of which is shown in Plate iv, figure 11. 



Average percentage of different septation types and sizes of conidia on 

 three different media are as follows: 



Conidia: 1-septate, about 0.5 per cent 

 2-septate, very rare 

 3-septate, about 25 per cent, 28.5 x 4.2;u
