notes

mycelium amphigenous, almost persistent. Conidia in chains, elliptic, without fibrosin bodies. Cleistothecia with 6-15 asci that contain 2 (rarely 3) spores. Appendages numerous, attached on and above the equator, 1-3.5 x the diameter; they are rather stiff and straight, unbranched, septate, brown for much of their length.

hostplants

Boraginaceae, oligophagous

Nemophila menziesii; Phacelia.

notes

North American species, in Europe known only from the ornamental Nemophila menziesii. Phacelia, that is much used in Europe because of its nectar production, is still a potential host plant.
