Notes.

Based on phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 3), three isolates in this study clustered with Dothiorella acericola and formed a clade with 99 % MP, 100 % ML, and 1.00 BYPP values. Dothiorella acericola is reported to be associated with the canker disease of Acer palmatum in China (Phookamsak et al. 2019). Pan et al. (2021, 2023) found that Do. acericola infests Ziziphus jujuba and Koelreuteria paniculata branches. The fungus was also recorded on dead branches of Euonymus japonicus (Lin et al. 2023 b) . This is the first discovery of this fungus in the host families Oleaceae and Ginkgoaceae .
