Weir et al.Specimen examined: Thailand, Chiang Mai, Sam Sai District, Maejo Village, onC<strong>or</strong>dyline fruticosa, coll. S. Phoulivong, 15 Mar. 2009 (ex-holotype culture –MFLUCC 090551 = ICMP 18579). Note that the ex-holotype culture was mistakenlycited as MFUCC 090551 by Phoulivong et al. (2011).<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> crassipes (Speg.) Arx, Verh. Kon. Ned.Akad. Wetensch., Afd. Natuurk., Sect. 2, 51(3): 77. 1957.Basionym: Gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ium crassipes Speg., Rivista Vitic. Enol. 2:405. 1878.Fig. 21. <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> clidemiae. A. ICMP 18658 – ex-holotype culture. ICMP18706. Cultures on PDA, 10 d growth from single conidia, from above and below.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> c<strong>or</strong>dylines Pollacci, Atti Ist. Bot. Univ.Pavia, Serie 2, 5: 44. 1899.Notes: Described from leaves of C<strong>or</strong>dyline indivisa from a botanicalgarden in Italy, the genetic and biological status of this <strong>species</strong> is notknown. Two C<strong>or</strong>dyline-associated <strong>species</strong> are accepted in this study,C. c<strong>or</strong>dylinicola from Thailand and the newly described C. ti from NewZealand. The <strong>or</strong>iginal description of C. c<strong>or</strong>dylines is brief (Pollacci1899) but it specifically mentions setae m<strong>or</strong>e than 100 µm long.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> c<strong>or</strong>dylinicola is described as lacking setae (Phoulivonget al. 2011) and in C. ti they are rare and when present much less than100 µm long. The phylogenetic significance of this apparent differenceand confirmation that these names represent different fungi requiresDNA sequences to be generated from type material of C. c<strong>or</strong>dylines.* <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> c<strong>or</strong>dylinicola Phoulivong, L. Cai & K.D.Hyde, Mycotaxon 114: 251. 2011 [“2010”]. Fig. 22.Phoulivong et al. (2011) provide a description.Geographic distribution and host range: Known only from C<strong>or</strong>dylinefrom Thailand and Eugenia from Laos.Genetic identification: ITS sequences separate C. c<strong>or</strong>dylinicolafrom all other <strong>species</strong>.Notes: Phoulivong et al. (2011) rep<strong>or</strong>t C. c<strong>or</strong>dylinicola fromC<strong>or</strong>dyline (Agavaceae) and Eugenia (Myrtaceae). They notedthat the isolate from Eugenia was not pathogenic to C<strong>or</strong>dyline andvice versa, and they also showed that the specimens from thetwo hosts are genetically somewhat distinct, although f<strong>or</strong>ming asister relationship amongst the taxa included in their analysis. Thecalmodulin gene tree generated from our sequence data togetherwith the sequences provided by Phoulivong et al. (2011) (GenBankaccession HM470236) supp<strong>or</strong>ts placing the isolates from Eugeniaand from C<strong>or</strong>dyline in the same <strong>species</strong> (unpubl. data).<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> c<strong>or</strong>dylinicola is genetically distinct from a<strong>species</strong> associated with C<strong>or</strong>dyline leaf spots from New Zealand,described here as C. ti. See also notes under C. c<strong>or</strong>dylines.Notes: Several isolates identified as <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> crassipesthat have sequences accessioned to GenBank belong in C.gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides s. lat. GenBank accessions identified as C.crassipes that have a publically available culture include C.kahawae subsp. ciggaro (STE-U 5302 = <strong>CBS</strong> 112988 – AY376529,AY376577, FN557348, FN557538, and FN599821; STE-U 4445= <strong>CBS</strong> 112984 – AY376530, AY376578, – FN557347, FN557537,and FN599820), along with several other <strong>species</strong> outside ofthe C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>complex</strong> (<strong>CBS</strong> 169.59 = IMI 309371 –AJ536230, FN557344, and FN599817; <strong>CBS</strong> 159.75 – FN557345and FN599818; <strong>CBS</strong> 109355 – FN557346 and FN599819).Those with no isolates in a public collection include C. kahawaesubsp. ciggaro (CORCS3 cited in Yang et al. (2011), HM584410,HM582002, HM585412), C. fructicola (strain 080912009 Jining,unpubl. data, FJ515007), and a possibly undescribed <strong>species</strong>within the Kahawae clade (strain SYJM02, unpubl. data,JF923835). Originally described from the berries of Vitis viniferafrom Italy (Spegazzini 1878), the identity of C. crassipes remainsunresolved. There is confusion regarding its m<strong>or</strong>phology. Von Arx(1970) uses the name C. crassipes f<strong>or</strong> fungi in which setae arerare, conidia are 22–34 × 6–8 µm (m<strong>or</strong>e <strong>or</strong> less matching the<strong>or</strong>iginal description), and the lobed appress<strong>or</strong>ia are distinctivelyglobose in shape. Sutton (1980) uses a different m<strong>or</strong>phologicalconcept – setae common (acc<strong>or</strong>ding to Sutton these are rare in theotherwise m<strong>or</strong>phologically similar C. musae), conidia 10–15 × 4.5–6.5 µm (Sutton’s concept of C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides is characterised bynarrower conidia), and the appress<strong>or</strong>ia deeply lobed. The conidialwidth cited f<strong>or</strong> C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides by Sutton (1980), 3–4.5 µm, isnarrower than we have found f<strong>or</strong> all the taxa we accept within C.gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides s. lat., whereas his C. crassipes measurement of4.5–6.5 µm matches many of the taxa we recognise. Several ofthese taxa also have deeply lobed appress<strong>or</strong>ia.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> dracaenae Allesch., Rabenh<strong>or</strong>st’sKryptogamen-Fl<strong>or</strong>a von Deutschland, Oesterreich und derSchweiz, Ed. 2, 1(7): 560. 1902.Notes: Farr et al. (2006) examined the type specimen of this<strong>species</strong> and concluded it was a member of C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides s.lat., based on conidial size and shape. Genetic data is not availableto confirm this. See also discussion under C. petchii in Damm et al.(2012b, this issue)<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> fragariae A.N. Brooks, Phytopathology 21:113. 1931.Notes: Placed here in synonymy with C. theobromicola. See notesand additional specimens examined under C. theobromicola.The name C. fragariae was <strong>or</strong>iginally applied to isolatesassociated with a disease of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa)runners (stolons) and petioles in Fl<strong>or</strong>ida (Brooks 1931).
