Notes: Aplosporella javeedii was known as an endophyte from healthy trees of two dicotyledonous host species [ Celtis Africana Burm. f. ( Cannabaceae Martinov ) and Searsia lancea ( L. f.) F. A. Barkley ( Anacardiaceae )] in South Africa ( Jami et al. 2014). Fan et al. (2015) firstly reported and illustrated this fungus in China, associating with canker or dieback disease of five hosts, i.e. Albizia julibrissin Durazz. ( Fabaceae Lindl. ), Broussonetia papyrifera ( L.) Vent. ( Moraceae Gaudich. ), Gleditsia sinensis Lam. ( Fabaceae ), Juniperus chinensis L. ( Cupressaceae Gray ), and Styphnolobium japonicum ( L.) Schott ( Fabaceae ) ( Fan et al. 2015b). The current study extends the host range to Rhus typhina ( Anacardiaceae ) and Ziziphus jujube ( Rhamnaceae ).
