Infected leaf and stem surfaces were covered with circular to irregular blackish spots. Conidiophores 15-50 &times; 4-6 x &micro;m, arising from substomatal stroma in loose fascicles of 8 -15, pale to light golden yellow, simple, sometimes geniculate near tip, 0-3 transversely septate. Conidia solitary, thin and smooth walled, cylindric to cylindro-obclavate, 0-8 septate, obconic base, subobtuse to bluntly rounded tip, 10-130 &times; 4-6 &micro;m. Morphological characteristics and pathogenecity test confirmed the identification as Passalora calotropidis .
