The sporidia differ from those of S. cercispora in being straight, 
broader, divided by a contriction into two unequal parts, of which 
the upper is broader and shorter than the lower, and there are but 
five septa.

Sparsa, minuta. Peritheciis numerosis, tectis, punctiformibiis,

The septa are so delicate as to be distinguished with difficulty. 
The perithecia are minute, resembling some species of Phoma. It 
would perhaps have been better included in Sphoerella.
