Taxonomic Literature: Taxonomic notes: +ascomata outer wall cells obscure, polygonal to rounded, sometimes irregularly shaped, ca. 8-15 µm diam.;. Braun U., Beih. Nova Hedwigia 89: 1-700 [542-544] (1987).

Ecology: Biotroph; phytopathogenic; growing on leaves, amphigenous. Host or Phorophyte Taxonomy: Pterocarpus rotundifolius (Sond.) Druce; Pterocarpus, Leguminosae-Papilionoideae.
