The <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong>Fig. 19. Glomerella cingulata “f. sp. camelliae”. A. ICMP 18542. B. ICMP 10643. C. ICMP 10646. A–C. Cultures on PDA, 10 d growth from single conidia, from above and below.USA, Australia, France, and Italy. The disease has been rep<strong>or</strong>tedfrom Camellia japonica, C. reticulata, and C. sasanqua. Althoughisolated in the UK from plants imp<strong>or</strong>ted from New Zealand, thispathogen has not yet been found on Camellia plants growing inNew Zealand.We have sequenced authentic isolates cited by Dickens &Cook (1989) as well as isolates pathogenic to Camellia saluenensiscollected from the USA. They are similar to each other geneticallyas well as biologically and m<strong>or</strong>phologically. ITS sequences alonedistinguish G. cingulata “f. sp. camelliae” from all other taxa in theC. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>complex</strong>, and there is good genetic evidence toconsider these isolates to be representative of a distinct <strong>species</strong>within the C. kahawae clade. A new <strong>species</strong> is not proposed herebecause the relationship between the G. cingulata “f. sp. camelliae”isolates and C. camelliae, the fungus causing brown blight of tea,remains uncertain.Dickens & Cook (1989) also rep<strong>or</strong>ted two C. acutatum strainsfrom <strong>or</strong>namental Camellia <strong>species</strong> that were avirulent in testswith detached Camellia cv. Donation leaves. Strain IMI 351261,deposited 1992 in IMI by R. Cook, is likely to be one of them. Thisstrain was confirmed as belonging to the C. acutatum <strong>species</strong><strong>complex</strong> and identified as C. lupini, which causes lupin anthracnoseand is occasionally found on other hosts (Damm et al. 2012a, thisissue). Another strain from Camellia reticulata from China belongsto C. fi<strong>or</strong>iniae, also a <strong>species</strong> in the C. acutatum <strong>complex</strong>, whilea strain from New Zealand (ICMP 10338) is C. boninense s. str.(Damm et al. 2012a, b, this issue).See notes under C. camelliae.Specimens examined: UK, plants imp<strong>or</strong>ted from New Zealand, on Camellia ×williamsii, coll. Dickens & Cook 82/437, 1982 (authentic culture of Glomerellacingulata “f. sp. camelliae” – ICMP 10643; dried culture PDD 56488). USA,Mississippi, on Camellia sasanqua twig blight, coll. W.E. Copes CG02g, May 2002(ICMP 18542); South Carolina, on Camellia sp., coll. G. Laundon 20369, 1 Jan.1982 (ICMP 10646).Glomerella cingulata var. crassisp<strong>or</strong>a Wollenw., Z.Parasitenk. (Berlin) 14: 260. 1949.Notes: Described from Coffea arabica from a glasshouse inGermany, this name has not been used since. No cultures areavailable and its relationship to and within the C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides<strong>complex</strong> is not known.Glomerella cingulata “f. sp. manihotis” (Chevaugeon1956)Notes: See notes under <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> manihotis.Glomerella cingulata var. min<strong>or</strong> Wollenw., Z. Parasitenk.(Berlin) 14: 261. 1949.= Gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ium elasticae Cooke & Massee, Grevillea 18: 74. 1890. [fideWollenweber & Hochapfel 1949]Notes: Placed here in synonymy with C. fructicola.Glomerella cingulata var. min<strong>or</strong> was described from Ficus fromGermany, but Wollenweber & Hochapfel (1949) noted that thesame fungus occurred also on other hosts in Europe, Africa, andAmerica, including Malus and Coffea. Genetically the ex-holotypeculture of G. cingulata var. min<strong>or</strong> (<strong>CBS</strong> 238.49) matches the typespecimen of C. fructicola, although the culture itself appears to bestale, with slow growth and an irregularly scalloped margin (seewww.studiesinmycology.<strong>or</strong>g147
