Notes.

This species produces cylindro-clavate to somewhat turbinate conidia with a slightly inflated apical cell. Observations from culture show that the fertile regions of the conidiophore are discontinuous, occurring apically as well as at several points along the conidiophore axis, sometimes associated with nodose swellings ( Matsushima 1987). Morphologically, it resembles P. peruamazonicum but can be distinguished by its shorter conidia and fewer septa. For additional comparison, see notes to P. asiaticum .
