Stromata scattered, amphigenous, usually only on one side of the leaf, but occasionally 
an epiphyllous is found opposite to a hypophyllous stroma, following the nerves, forming 
dull black, linear streaks up to 7 mm. long and 0-8 mm. broad on a yellow brown leaf spot ; 
from these short lateral streaks radiate or form thin connecting branches with neighbouring 
stromata. Stroma sub-epidermal, the base being sharply de fined against the sub-epidermal 
cell-layer ; the sub-epidermal layer and the rest of the mesophyll remaining unchanged 
even when two stromata are formed opposite to each other, on each of the leaf surfaces ; 
only the region adjoining the base of the stroma is coloured red. The stroma consists of 
vertical, parallel prosenchyma, in the epidermal clypeus the cells are short and opaque 
black. Loculi broadly ellipsoid, raising the epidermis in which the clypeus has developed; 
at the base only resting on a thin line of stroma which is against the sub-epidermal cells, 
300-350 u. diam., 140-170 » high. Asci cylindrical, paraphysate, eight-spored, 45-58 u x 
7-10 u. Spores monostichous, one-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, rounded at both ends, 
8-10 un x 45h

Stromata epipbyllous, more or less covering the leaf surface, round to irregular, 14 to 
4 mm. in diam., convex, somewhat shiny, black, with a rough surface, 400-450 » high, 
with a flat base resting on the sub-epidermal layer of cells, which is not stromatized, covered * 
with an epidermal clypeus, light brown, vertically prosenchymatous in structure. Loculi 
numerous, pear-shaped, 300-400 u diam., with an indistinctly periphysate neck. Asci 
cylindrical, 85-100 u x 11-15, with delicate, filiform, hyaline paraphyses. Spores up 
to eight in an ascus, mostly monostichous, elliptic to oblong, rounded at both ends, red- 
brown, one-celled, with a slender medial hyaline band, 12-17 yu x 8-9 u.
