The <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong>Fig. 28. <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> musae. A. ICMP 12930. B. ICMP 18600. C. ICMP 17817 (ex IMI 52264). Cultures on PDA, 10 d growth from single conidia, from above and below.and <strong>or</strong>ange conidial masses visible through the mycelium, inreverse with pinkish-<strong>or</strong>ange pigmentation, in places this masked byirregular patches <strong>or</strong> sect<strong>or</strong>s of dark grey pigmentation), the otherm<strong>or</strong>e <strong>or</strong> less lacking aerial mycelium, the surface of the colonycovered with small, pale-based acervuli with bright <strong>or</strong>ange conidialooze, in reverse bright <strong>or</strong>ange from the conidial ooze. Althoughcommon from single ascosp<strong>or</strong>es, the bright, conidial cultural typeis rarely f<strong>or</strong>med by isolates from nature (unpubl. data). Similardim<strong>or</strong>phic cultural types have been observed also from singleascosp<strong>or</strong>e isolates from a member of the C. boninense <strong>complex</strong>,C. constrictum (unpubl. data, P.R. Johnston).Other specimens examined: Brazil, on leaves of Miconia sp., coll. R. BarretoRWB1054, 2009 (ICMP 18728). Germany, Berlin-Dahlem, on stem of Hypericumperf<strong>or</strong>atum, Jun. 1937 (ex-holotype culture of Glomerella cingulata var. migrans– <strong>CBS</strong> 237.49 = ICMP 17922). New Zealand, Auckland, Waitakere Ranges, onleaves of Kunzea ericoides, coll. S. Joshee 5Kun3.10 (ICMP 18741); Auckland,Waitakere Ranges, on leaves of K. ericoides, coll. S. Joshee 7Kun5.2 (ICMP 18534);Auckland, Waitakere Ranges, on leaves of T<strong>or</strong>onia t<strong>or</strong>u, coll. G. Carroll TOROTO3(ICMP 18544); Te Puke, on Persea americana fruit rot, coll. W.F.T. Hartill, 19 Jan.1989 (ICMP 18531); Te Puke, on P. americana fruit rot, coll. W.F.T. Hartill, 8 Feb.1988 (ICMP 12952); Te Puke, on P. americana fruit rot, coll. W.F.T. Hartill, 28 Sep.1991 (ICMP 12953). South Africa, Madeira, on Dryandra sp., coll. J.E. Tayl<strong>or</strong>, 1Apr. 2001 (<strong>CBS</strong> 112984, as C. crassipes = ICMP 17932). Switzerland, on Dryasoctopetala, coll. P. Cannon (IMI 359911 = <strong>CBS</strong> 12988 = ICMP 17931). USA, onVaccinium macrocarpum leaves, coll. C.L. Shear, Apr. 1922 (authentic culture ofG. rufomaculans var. vaccinii – <strong>CBS</strong> 124.22 = ICMP 19122).<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> manihotis Henn., Hedwigia 43: 94. 1904.Notes: Anthracnose is an imp<strong>or</strong>tant disease of cassava (e.g.Chevaugeon 1956, Makambila 1994, Fokunang et al. 2000,Owolade et al. 2008), variously referred to <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> manihotis,Gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ium manihotis Henn., Glomerella manihotis (Sacc.)Petr., Glomerella cingulata “f. sp. manihotis”, <strong>or</strong> C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides“f. sp. manihotis”. The <strong>or</strong>iginal descriptions of both C. manihotisand Gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ium manihotis are of <strong>species</strong> with sh<strong>or</strong>t, broadconidia (8–15 × 4–6 µm), and Chevaugeon (1956) regarded all ofthese cassava-associated fungi as con-specific. However, basedon Fokunang et al. (2000), a m<strong>or</strong>phologically highly diverse set of<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> isolates are associated with diseased plants. Thereare three GenBank accessions of <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> from cassava,all from China, and although only ITS sequences are available f<strong>or</strong>these isolates, they appear to represent a single, distinct <strong>species</strong>within the C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>complex</strong>. How these Chinese isolatesrelate to cassava-associated isolates from other parts of the w<strong>or</strong>ldis not known.* <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> musae (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Arx, Verh.Kon. Ned. Akad. Wetensch., Afd. Natuurk., Sect. 2 51(3):107. 1957. Fig. 28.Basionym: Myxosp<strong>or</strong>ium musae Berk. & M.A. Curtis, Grevillea 3:13. 1874.Su et al. (2011) provide a description.Geographic distribution and host range: Found in association withfruit lesions of Musa spp. in many regions.Genetic identification: ITS sequences separate C. musae from allother <strong>species</strong>.Notes: <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> musae was <strong>or</strong>iginally described from N<strong>or</strong>thCarolina (Berkeley 1874), and the name was recently epitypifiedby Su et al. (2011) on the basis of a specimen collected in Fl<strong>or</strong>idawww.studiesinmycology.<strong>or</strong>g161
