Xenodevriesia

Devriesia strelitziicola Arzanlou & Crous 2009 Xenodevriesia strelitziicola is a pathogenic ascomycete fungus in the class Dothideomycetes[2] that infects the South African plant Strelitzia.

[3] It is the only species of the monotypic genus Xenodevriesia and family Xenodevriesiaceae.

[4] Xenodevriesia mycelium consists of medium brown, smooth, septate, branched hyphae.

[1][3] The conidia themselves are smooth, guttulate (i.e. spores containing one or more oil-like globules),[5] between subcylindrical and narrowly obclavate in shape, with an apex obtuse or truncate and a truncate base; they occur in branched chains that are widest at the basal septum.

The hila are inconspicuous or somewhat darkened and thickened, and aren't refractive.
