Y. Huang, H. W. Shen & Z. L. Luo 2024	<div><p>Phyllosticta cangshanensis Z.Y. Huang, H.W. Shen &amp; Z.L. Luo, sp. nov. (Fig. 2)</p><p>Fungal Names number: FN 572055.</p><p>Holotype:— KUN-HKAS 136942</p><p>Etymology:— “cangshanensis ” refers to the Cangshan Mountain, where the holotype was collected.</p><p>Endophytic in healthy Rhododendron decorum leaves. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Coelomycetous. Conidiomata on PDA, pycnidial, gregarious, globose to pyriform, black, erumpent, exuding grey to black conidial masses. Pycnidial walls 56–77 μm wide (x = 66.5 μm, n = 25), comprising several layers of textura angularis cells, outer layers dark brown to black, inner layers pale brown to hyaline. Ostiole single, central, 5–8 μm wide (x = 6.5 μm, n = 30). Conidiophores cylindrical to ampulliform, often reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells 15–17 × 4–12 μm (x = 16 × 8 μm, n = 30), terminal, arising from the inner layer of the pycnidial wall, subcylindrical or ampulliform, hyaline. Conidia 10–12 × 6–8 µm (x = 11 × 7 μm, n = 30), solitary, ellipsoidal to obovoid, hyaline, aseptate, guttulate, with a large central guttule when immature, smooth walled, truncate at the base, consisting of an apical appendage. Appendages 7.4–8.2 × 1.3–1.5 μm (x = 7.8 × 1.4 μm, n = 30), flexuous, unbranched, straight or curved, tapering towards a rounded tip.</p><p>Culture characteristics:— Colonies growing on PDA were incubated in darkness at 25 ℃ for 14 days, during which they grew about 30–50 mm, with a growth rate of 2.1–3.6 mm /day. The surface and reverse of colonies are grayish to black, with an irregular edge. Gray to black conidiomata are formed after 14 days on PDA.</p><p>Material examined:— China, Yunnan Province, Dali City, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=100.07278&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=25.845556" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 100.07278/lat 25.845556)">Cangshan Mountain</a>, 25°50′44″ N, 100°4′22″ E (2753 m), isolated from healthy leaves of R. decorum, March 2024, X.

J.

There are 88 nucleotides base differences between CGMCC 3.27856 and P. rhodorae (28/516 bp in ITS, 3/763 bp in LSU, 21/215 bp in tef 1-α, 13/202 bp in act, and 23/623 bp in gpdh). From a morphological perspective, CGMCC 3.27856 differs from P. rhodorae by its smaller conidia (10–12 × 6–8 μm vs. 11.5–17.5 ×7.5–9.5 μm). In addition, our species has apical appendages, but this feature was not observed in P. rhodorae (Davis 1946) . Notably, our species and P. rhodorae were isolated from the leaves of Rhododendron species. Based on phylogenetic analyses and morphological characteristics, we establish a new species, P. cangshanensis .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/394387BCFFBCFFD459FA902EFBD72C10	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
