Damm et al.128528 sometimes exceed 20 µm, but their average length is 16.5µm and their L/W ratio is 3.3 rather than 3.5–4.25 as implied bySiemaszko’s measurements.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> passifl<strong>or</strong>ae F. Stevens & P.A. Young (Stevens1925), described on fruits of P. laurifolia and leaves of P. edulis fromHawaii, U.S.A., might be an earlier name f<strong>or</strong> several of the <strong>species</strong> ofthe boninense <strong>complex</strong>, but von Arx (1957) treated it as a synonymof the gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>complex</strong> and its description (“Acervuli black,numerous, 90–225 µ in diameter. Setae brown, 50–75 by 5 µm.Conidia granular, cylindrical 11–18 by 3.5–6 µm,” Stevens 1925)is inadequate to make an assessment of its identity. Setae of C.constrictum, C. novae-zelandiae, C. karstii and C. t<strong>or</strong>ulosum arelonger than the length quoted f<strong>or</strong> C. passifl<strong>or</strong>ae by Stevens, but thedifferent growth conditions makes such a comparison unreliable. Noliving cultures of C. passifl<strong>or</strong>ae appear to have been maintained, sowe are f<strong>or</strong>ced to regard the name as of uncertain application. Thename is not available f<strong>or</strong> any of the <strong>species</strong> of the C. boninense<strong>complex</strong> as it is a later homonym of C. passifl<strong>or</strong>ae Siemaszko.The name Gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ium passifl<strong>or</strong>icola Sawada [as“passifl<strong>or</strong>icolum”], was introduced f<strong>or</strong> a fungus on Passifl<strong>or</strong>aquadrangularis in Taiwan (Sawada 1943), but the name wasinvalidly published and cannot threaten any of the <strong>species</strong>presented in our paper.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> brassicicola Damm, P.F.

Weir et al. (2012) confirm C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides var.min<strong>or</strong> as belonging to the C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong>, anddescribe it as a new <strong>species</strong>, C. queenslandicum. <strong>Colletotrichum</strong>higginsianum (O’Connell et al. 2004) is part of the C. destructivum<strong>complex</strong> (Cannon et al. 2012, this issue) and has longer conidiathat tend to be inaequilateral.Vassiljewski and Karakulin (1950) described <strong>Colletotrichum</strong>brassicae on Brassica as having slightly curved, fusoid conidia thatare longer (19–24 µm) than those of C. brassicicola. <strong>Colletotrichum</strong>brassicae was regarded as a synonym of C. dematium (von Arx1957), but no authentic material has been seen.14
