Inonotus rickii (Pat.) Reid

Kew Bulletin 12 (1): 141 (1957).

SPECIMENS EXAMINED. — Brazil. Pernambuco State, Recife City, on living Clitoria fairchildiana (Fabaceae) , 8°3’11.91”S, 34°53’2.53”W, 4.V.2019, V. R.T. Oliveira, (URM[URM94336]); on living Delinix regia (Fabaceae) , 8°2’46.89”S, 34°56’37.40”W, 16.VIII.2019, V.R.T. Oliveira, (URM[URM943377]).

REMARKS

The specimens analyzed were recorded as parasitic of urban trees. Both specimens were found in the anamorphous stage ( Ptychogaster cubensis Pat. ) on Fabaceae ( Clitoria fairchildiana , native species, and Delonix regia , exotic) ( Fig. 3 E-F). In the ITS phylogeny, I. rickii is closely related to I. patouillardii ( Fig. 2 ), the latter being differentiated by minor and questionable morphological features (Gottleib et al., 2002). They may represent the same species, however, sequencing either the type material or material from the type locality is desirable to confirm this hypothesis.
