F. Pei & X. G. Zhang, Mycotaxon	<div><p>Stemphylium amaranthi Y.F. Pei &amp; X.G. Zhang, Mycotaxon 109: 495, 2009 (Fig. 2)</p> <p>Colonies on PDA (7 days, in darkness at 24±1 °C) were floccose, 68 mm diam., pale brown to grey at center and creamy to white at margin (Fig. 2a); on PCA (7 days, white fluorescent light, 24±1 °C) were smooth, 64 mm diam., olive to dark green with distinct concentric zones of growth and sporulation (Fig. 2b). Sporulation was abundant from aerial mycelia and less from submerged mycelia. Hyphae were pale brown, septate, branched, 4–5 μm wide. Conidiophores were pale brown, straight or somewhat curved, up to 200 μm in length. Conidiogenous cells were swollen at the apex, occasionally with 1–5 apical proliferation, pale brown and 5.5–6.5 μm wide. Conidia were pale to dark brown, solitary, spherical to oblong-spherical, cylindrical, bottle shaped, conical or obclavate, rounded at the base and spherical to conical at the apex, sometimes with a short apical extension, usually with 1–7(–9) transverse septa, 1–5 longitudinal septa, 1–4 oblique septa, distinctly constricted at the median septum and 21–57 × 10–18 μm (av. 35.28 × 14.62 μm; L/W= 1.43–3.8) (Fig. 2c–f). Sexual morph was firstly formed on PCA plates incubated at 4 °C after 1 month and was fully developed after 2–3 months. Ascomata were dark brown, thick-walled, spherical, 300–700 × 250–550 μm (Fig. 2g). Asci were bitunicate, hyaline, 8-spored, 300–350 × 35–37.5 μm (Fig. 2h–j). Ascospores were pale to dark brown, with even darkened septa, oblong-spherical, rounded at both ends, with 6–7 transverse septa, 6–7 longitudinal septa, and 34–41 × 14–18 μm (av. 37.44 × 16.83 μm; L/W= 2.11–3.45) (Fig. 2k–l).</p> <p>Specimens examined — IRAN.
