What are Maurer's dots and clefts?
Pigment may vary in colour and may be clumped or scattered as individual small masses depending on species; in some instances this can help (most obviously in the central clump seen in the "daisy head" schizonts of P.malariae). Generally however, the form of the pigment is less useful than other features in determining species.
