Morphological characteristics of the anamorphic states in 23 species o
f the genus Uncinula and allied genera are described and illustrated.
All species examined produced conidia singly, but the morphology of fo
ot-cells in conidiophores was variable and of taxonomic value. Further
more, the position of the conidiophores on their mother cells, central
or non-central, was newly found to be stable in different species and
proposed for the first time as an important criterion for classifying
species.
