In morphology, they are distinguished by different hosts ( Clematis vitalba vs. Hedera sp. vs. Kerria japonica) and smaller conidia in P. clematidea than P. concentrica and P. kerriae (8–11.5 × 6–10 (5.5–7.5) μm vs. (10 –) 11–13 (– 14) × (6 –) 8 (– 9) μm vs. 9.5–12.5 × 6.0–7.5 μm) (Motohashi et al. 2008; Wikee et al. 2013).
