Type description

Van Geel et al 2011: Conidia mostly 4-septate, 41–50 X 20–25 μm, central cell very large, dark brown, other cells pale and smaller. This type should not be confused with Type UG-1099 (Gelorini et al., 2011), which as suggested by size differences includes several other Brachysporium species apart from B. pulchrum.
