Notes: Next to the species that are displayed in our phylogeny,
14 more are included in sect. Alternata based on the study of
Lawrence et al. (2013) and confirmed by our molecular data (not
shown). We chose not to include 11 species from the study of
Lawrence et al. (2013). The species A. gossypina, A. grisae, A.
grossulariae, A. iridis, A. lini, A. maritima and A. nelumbii were
not recognised by Simmons (2007) and the strains of A. malvae,
A. rhadina, A. resedae and A. tomato used by Lawrence et al.
(2013) were not authentic. Section Alternata comprises almost 60
Alternaria species based on ITS sequence data (data not shown).
The molecular variation within this section is low.
