2. Corsiniaceae Engler View in CoL

The molecular phylogeny published by Villarreal et al. (2015) shows that the genus Exormotheca Mitten (1870: 325) the type of Exormothecaceae Müll.Frib. ex Grolle ( Grolle, 1972) , is nested within Corsiniaceae Engler and for this reason the two families must be united under the earlier family name, Corsiniaceae . In addition to the sequence data, the merger is supported by spore ornamentation ( Bischler, 1998). Furthermore, Stephensoniella brevipedunculata ( Kashyap 1914: 312) is nested within Exormotheca and the genus must be treated as a synonym. This necessitates the new combination Exormotheca brevipedunculata Kashyap (1914: 312) D.G.Long, Crandall-Stotler, L.L.Forrest & Villarreal. This transfer is also supported by spore ornamentation ( Bischler, 1998).
