aotearoa (ICMP 18748) was isolated from Ligustrum lucidum in
New Zealand, but it was not associated with a stem lesion and no
C. aotearoa isolates were observed forming perithecia.
Glomerella cingulata var. brevispora Wollenw., Z.
Parasitenk. (Berlin) 14: 260. 1949.
Notes: Described from fruit rots from Germany, this name has not
been used since. No cultures are available and its relationship to
and within the C. gloeosporioides complex is not known.
* Glomerella cingulata “f. sp. camelliae” (Dickens & Cook
1989). Figs 18, 19.
Notes: Dickens & Cook (1989) proposed the name Glomerella
cingulata “f. sp. camelliae” for isolates morphologically typical of
C. gloeosporioides s. lat. that were highly pathogenic to leaves and
shoots of ornamental Camellia saluenensis hybrids, causing the
disease Camellia twig blight. These authors reported the fungus
from plants imported into the UK from New Zealand and noted that
a similar disease had been reported from plants grown in the UK,
