Isolate S73a was isolated from a sporing colony on debris of Paspalurn dilatatum (May 1959, Mount Albert, Auckland). Like isolate C optimum growth was obtained between 25-28 C but the cultures were light coloured with more superficial floccose mycelium. Dark chlamydospores and dark verrucose mycelium were commonly produced. Conidia were formed in small clusters in among the floccose superficial mycelium; conidia (21-29 x 9.5-13 um) were muriform with 2 but more usually 3, transverse septa.
