Specimen examined: Thailand, Chiang Mai, Sam Sai District, Maejo Village, on<br />

C<strong>or</strong>dyline fruticosa, coll. S. Phoulivong, 15 Mar. 2009 (ex-holotype culture –<br />

MFLUCC 090551 = ICMP 18579). Note that the ex-holotype culture was mistakenly<br />

cited as MFUCC 090551 by Phoulivong et al. (2011).<br />

<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> c<strong>or</strong>dylines Pollacci, Atti Ist. Bot. Univ.<br />

Pavia, Serie 2, 5: 44. 1899.<br />

Notes: Described from leaves of C<strong>or</strong>dyline indivisa from a botanical<br />

garden in Italy, the genetic and biological status of this <strong>species</strong> is not<br />

known. Two C<strong>or</strong>dyline-associated <strong>species</strong> are accepted in this study,<br />

C. c<strong>or</strong>dylinicola from Thailand and the newly described C. ti from New<br />

Zealand. The <strong>or</strong>iginal description of C. c<strong>or</strong>dylines is brief (Pollacci<br />

1899) but it specifically mentions setae m<strong>or</strong>e than 100 µm long.<br />

<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> c<strong>or</strong>dylinicola is described as lacking setae (Phoulivong<br />

et al. 2011) and in C. ti they are rare and when present much less than<br />

100 µm long. The phylogenetic significance of this apparent difference<br />

and confirmation that these names represent different fungi requires<br />

DNA sequences to be generated from type material of C. c<strong>or</strong>dylines.<br />

* <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> c<strong>or</strong>dylinicola Phoulivong, L. Cai & K.D.<br />

Hyde, Mycotaxon 114: 251. 2011 [“2010”]. Fig. 22.<br />

Phoulivong et al. (2011) provide a description.<br />

Geographic distribution and host range: Known only from C<strong>or</strong>dyline<br />

from Thailand and Eugenia from Laos.<br />

Genetic identification: ITS sequences separate C. c<strong>or</strong>dylinicola<br />

from all other <strong>species</strong>.<br />

Notes: Phoulivong et al. (2011) rep<strong>or</strong>t C. c<strong>or</strong>dylinicola from<br />

C<strong>or</strong>dyline (Agavaceae) and Eugenia (Myrtaceae). They noted<br />

that the isolate from Eugenia was not pathogenic to C<strong>or</strong>dyline and<br />

vice versa, and they also showed that the specimens from the<br />

two hosts are genetically somewhat distinct, although f<strong>or</strong>ming a<br />

sister relationship amongst the taxa included in their analysis. The<br />

calmodulin gene tree generated from our sequence data together<br />

with the sequences provided by Phoulivong et al. (2011) (GenBank<br />

accession HM470236) supp<strong>or</strong>ts placing the isolates from Eugenia<br />

and from C<strong>or</strong>dyline in the same <strong>species</strong> (unpubl. data).<br />

<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> c<strong>or</strong>dylinicola is genetically distinct from a<br />

<strong>species</strong> associated with C<strong>or</strong>dyline leaf spots from New Zealand,<br />

described here as C. ti. See also notes under C. c<strong>or</strong>dylines.<br />

Notes: Several isolates identified as <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> crassipes<br />

that have sequences accessioned to GenBank belong in C.<br />

gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides s. lat. GenBank accessions identified as C.<br />

crassipes that have a publically available culture include C.<br />

kahawae subsp. ciggaro (STE-U 5302 = <strong>CBS</strong> 112988 – AY376529,<br />

AY376577, FN557348, FN557538, and FN599821; STE-U 4445<br />

= <strong>CBS</strong> 112984 – AY376530, AY376578, – FN557347, FN557537,<br />

and FN599820), along with several other <strong>species</strong> outside of<br />

the C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>complex</strong> (<strong>CBS</strong> 169.59 = IMI 309371 –<br />

AJ536230, FN557344, and FN599817; <strong>CBS</strong> 159.75 – FN557345<br />

and FN599818; <strong>CBS</strong> 109355 – FN557346 and FN599819).<br />

Those with no isolates in a public collection include C. kahawae<br />

subsp. ciggaro (CORCS3 cited in Yang et al. (2011), HM584410,<br />

HM582002, HM585412), C. fructicola (strain 080912009 Jining,<br />

unpubl. data, FJ515007), and a possibly undescribed <strong>species</strong><br />

within the Kahawae clade (strain SYJM02, unpubl. data,<br />

JF923835). Originally described from the berries of Vitis vinifera<br />

from Italy (Spegazzini 1878), the identity of C. crassipes remains<br />

unresolved. There is confusion regarding its m<strong>or</strong>phology. Von Arx<br />

(1970) uses the name C. crassipes f<strong>or</strong> fungi in which setae are<br />

rare, conidia are 22–34 × 6–8 µm (m<strong>or</strong>e <strong>or</strong> less matching the<br />

<strong>or</strong>iginal description), and the lobed appress<strong>or</strong>ia are distinctively<br />

globose in shape. Sutton (1980) uses a different m<strong>or</strong>phological<br />

concept – setae common (acc<strong>or</strong>ding to Sutton these are rare in the<br />

otherwise m<strong>or</strong>phologically similar C. musae), conidia 10–15 × 4.5–<br />

6.5 µm (Sutton’s concept of C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides is characterised by<br />

narrower conidia), and the appress<strong>or</strong>ia deeply lobed. The conidial<br />

width cited f<strong>or</strong> C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides by Sutton (1980), 3–4.5 µm, is<br />

narrower than we have found f<strong>or</strong> all the taxa we accept within C.<br />

gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides s. lat., whereas his C. crassipes measurement of<br />

4.5–6.5 µm matches many of the taxa we recognise. Several of<br />

these taxa also have deeply lobed appress<strong>or</strong>ia.<br />

Kryptogamen-Fl<strong>or</strong>a von Deutschland, Oesterreich und der<br />

Schweiz, Ed. 2, 1(7): 560. 1902.<br />

Notes: Farr et al. (2006) examined the type specimen of this<br />

<strong>species</strong> and concluded it was a member of C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides s.<br />

lat., based on conidial size and shape. Genetic data is not available<br />

to confirm this. See also discussion under C. petchii in Damm et al.<br />

(2012b, this issue)<br />

<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> fragariae A.N. Brooks, Phytopathology 21:<br />

113. 1931.<br />

Notes: Placed here in synonymy with C. theobromicola. See notes<br />

and additional specimens examined under C. theobromicola.<br />

The name C. fragariae was <strong>or</strong>iginally applied to isolates<br />

associated with a disease of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa)<br />

runners (stolons) and petioles in Fl<strong>or</strong>ida (Brooks 1931). Although<br />

the name was placed in synonymy with C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides by<br />
