The capitate hyphopodia are mostly alternate and are often 50 apart. 
The ostiole is formed by a plate of thin-walled cells.

On leaves of Linociera. 
This species is distinguished from Meliola linocierae Syd. by its somewhat 
larger spores, shorter mucronate hyphopodia, and longer setae.

On leaves of Teramnus labialis. 
This Meliola appears to be quite close to M. bicornis Winter, differing 
from it mainly in mycelial characters. In the latter species the capitate 
hyphopodia are said to be opposite; in ours the perithecia and asci are 
somewhat smaller and the spores slightly larger than in M. bicornis. 
Comparison with material of M. bicornis might show this to be a variety 
of it rather than a distinct species.
