Species of Veronaea grow relatively well in culture, producing sparingly branched, brownish conidiophores with geniculate, sympodial conidiogenous cells with flat, unthickened scars, each producing single 1–septate conidia.[1] The cosmopolitan V. botryosa has 2(–4) celled conidia and although found in soil and other organic matter, it frequently causes skin infections in immunocompromised humans.[2]
