Diagnostic Notes **Sori** in leaves as round or polygonal spots, at first pale blue-green, later dark brown and drying from the centre, 3–15 mm diam., or larger by fusion. **Spores** solitary or often in small groups or chains, globose, ovoid to irregular, 9.5–17.0 (–20) × 8–16 µm, subhyaline to golden yellow; wall smooth, 2-layered, 1–4 µm thick; outer layer often unevenly thickened. **Spore germination** resulting in aseptate basidia 60–80 × 5–8 µm. Basidiospores developing in 4s at the tips of basidia, acicular, 40–60 × 3–5 µm, sometimes producing uninucleate secondary sporidia or, after fusion, dikaryotic hyphae. **Anamorph** may be present. 3.
