convex, groups of stromata are often oval or elliptic in outline between the lateral veins. 
The normal thickness of the leaf is about 240 u, the thickness of the stroma is 300-400 u.. 
Loculi occupying the whole thickness of the leaf, flattened spherical, 300-400 u diameter; 
epidermal clypeus on both leaf surfaces very thick, black, opaque, on the upper surface 
40-50 u thick ; basal clypeus thinner, 23— 25 u; lateral wall consisting of thin, delicate, 
laterally compressed hyphae ; leaf tissue between the loculi permeated in every dire ction 
by brown hyphal threads. Asci richly paraphysate, cylindrical, eight-spored, with a short 
foot, 80-90 x 10-13 u. Spores obliquely monostichous, one-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid or 
subfusoid, tapering to each end, but rounded not pointed at ends, 13-17 x 5-6 n

Stromata oval, black, shining, slightly convex, scattered or crowded, 4-1 mm. long, 
clypeus formed in epidermis of both leaf surfaces, but is more extensive on the side of the 
apex of the loculus than on the basal side. Loculi delimited at base and apex by the 
opaque clypeus, lateral walls thinner and more delicate. Loculi spherical, about 240 u 
diameter; asci club-shaped, pedicellate, 55-60 x 15-18 u, paraphysate. Spores distichous, 
elliptic, abruptly rounded at ends, 12-13 x 7-8 u.

Stromata on yellow leaf spots. scattered or more rarely in groups, minute, oval to 
ellipsoid, 0°5-0°7 mm. long, dull black, convex on upper leaf surface, penetrating through 
leaf and becoming visible as minute, dull-black specks on the lower surface. Loculi usually 
one, sometimes two in each stroma, 120-180 u diameter, 100-120 u high, occupying from 
three-quarters to whole of thickness of leaf, with a dark epidermal clypeus on the upper 
side, 15-20 u thick; when the loculus occupies whole thickness of leaf there is also a clypeus 
developed in the lower epidermis ; remainder of locular wall composed of delicate, laterally 
compressed hyphae. Asci cylindrical, paraphysate, rounded at apex, eight-spored, briefly 
stipitate, 100-120 x 15-18°5 u. 
Spores obliquely monostichous or distichous, cylindrical, fusiform, tapering somewhat 
to both ends, four-celled, cells subequal in length, or middle cells somewhat larger than the 
terminal ones, hyaline or subhvaline, 27-33 « 8-9°5 u
