Damm et al.Fig. 29. <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> simmondsii (A–K, R-S from strain <strong>CBS</strong> 294.67. L–Q from ex-holotype strain <strong>CBS</strong> 122122). A–B. Conidiomata. C. Seta. D–K. Conidioph<strong>or</strong>es. L–Q.Appress<strong>or</strong>ia. R–S. Conidia. A, C–F, R. from Anthriscus stem. B, G–Q, S. from SNA. A–B. DM, C–S. DIC, Scale bars: A = 200 µm, B = 100 µm, D = 10 µm. Scale bar of Dapplies to C–S.strain <strong>CBS</strong> 294.67, medium brown, smooth-walled, 0–1-septate,20–40 µm long, base 2–3 µm diam, cylindrical, tip ± acute.Conidioph<strong>or</strong>es hyaline, smooth-walled, septate, branched, to 65µm long. Conidiogenous cells hyaline, smooth-walled, cylindrical,thred-like, 19–30 × 1 µm, opening 0.5 µm diam, collarette < 0.5µm long, periclinal thickening not observed, conidiogenous cellsof other strains differ, e.g. conidioph<strong>or</strong>es of <strong>CBS</strong> 294.67 arecylindrical to slightly inflated and usually wider than the ex-typestrain, measuring 5–18 × 2.5–4.5 µm, opening 1–1.5 µm diam,collarette 0.5–1 µm long, periclinal thickening visible. Conidiahyaline, smooth-walled, aseptate, straight, cylindrical to fusif<strong>or</strong>mwith both ends acute <strong>or</strong> one end round and one end acute, (6–)7–10(–12.5) × (2–)2.5–3.5(–4.5) µm, mean ± SD = 8.4 ± 1.5 × 3.0± 0.5 µm, L/W ratio = 2.8, conidia of other strains differ in shapeand size from the ex-type strain, e.g. conidia of <strong>CBS</strong> 294.67 arecylindrical to fusif<strong>or</strong>m with both ends acute and (11–)12–14.5(–15.5) × (3–)4–4.5(–5) µm, mean ± SD = 13.3 ± 1.2 × 4.1 ± 0.4µm, L/W ratio = 3.2.Culture characteristics: Colonies on SNA flat with entire margin,hyaline to to pale isabelline, on filter paper and on Anthriscus stempartly covered with sh<strong>or</strong>t white to pale grey felty aerial mycelium,reverse of filter paper white to olivaceous grey, growth 10–16mm in 7 d (16–26 mm in 10 d), other strains differ from the typestrain by growing faster, e.g. <strong>CBS</strong> 294.67 grows 20.5–31 mm in7 d (34–40 mm in 10 d). Colonies on OA flat with entire margin;surface covered with felty white aerial mycelium, becoming paleolivaceous grey towards the centre, margin white <strong>or</strong> rosy buff,reverse dark olivaceous grey <strong>or</strong> salmon and purplish to iron-greytowards the margin, growth 10–16 mm in 7 d (14–24 mm in 10 d),other strains differ from the type strain by growing faster, e.g. <strong>CBS</strong>294.67 grows 21–27 mm in 7 d (32.5–40 mm in 10 d). Conidia inmass not observed in the ex-type strain, those of other strains aresalmon-<strong>or</strong>ange.Material examined: Australia, Queensland, Yandina, from fruit anthracnose of ofCarica papaya, May 1987, L.M. Coates, culture ex-holotype <strong>CBS</strong> 122122 = BRIP28519 = BCC 28680 = HKUCC 10928 = ICMP 17298 = KACC 43258; Queensland,Brisbane, Ormiston, from fruit rot of Carica papaya, 1959, J.H. Simmonds, cultureex-topotype of C. acutatum <strong>CBS</strong> 294.67 = BRIP 11084; Queensland, Brisbane,Nambour, from fruit rot of Fragaria × ananassa, 30 Mar. 1965, J.H. Simmonds,(acc<strong>or</strong>ding to BRIP database: K.G. Pegg), culture <strong>CBS</strong> 295.67 = BRIP 11086;Western Australia, Wanneroo, from rotting fruit of Fragaria × ananassa, collectiondate and collect<strong>or</strong> unknown (deposited in IMI in 1992 by R.M. Floyd, WesternAustralia Department of Agriculture, Australia, No. WA 2768), culture IMI 354381 =CPC 18923. USA, Hawaii, from Protea cynaroides, 8 Dec. 1998, P.W. Crous & M.E.Palm, culture <strong>CBS</strong> 114494 = STE-U 2964 = STE-U 2088.Notes: <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> simmondsii was described by Shivas &Tan (2009) to accommodate strains of the C. acutatum aggregateassigned to group A2 by Sreenivasaprasad & Talhinhas (2005). Thetype of C. simmondsii was erroneously designated as an epitypeof C. acutatum (i.e. s.str.) by Than et al. (2008b), bef<strong>or</strong>e Shivas& Tan (2009) recognised that the two taxa are not conspecific. In102
