Plasmodium falciparum?

Sorry!  Have another look.

There are two schizonts in this field, one to the left and one to
the bottom of the right.  Both exhibit a classical feature.  Have

Plasmodium malariae?

Well done!  Thick films are never easy!

Did you see both schizonts exhibiting the typical
daisy head formation commonly observed in P. malariae.
