The <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> acutatum <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong>subglobose, elliptical <strong>or</strong> irregular in outline, with entire, undulate <strong>or</strong>lobate margin, (5–)5.5–9.5(–11.3) × (3–)4.5–6.5(–7.5) µm, mean ±SD = 7.5 ± 1.8 × 5.4 ± 1.1 µm, L/W ratio = 1.4.Asexual m<strong>or</strong>ph on Anthriscus stem (<strong>CBS</strong> 126518). Conidiomataacervular, conidioph<strong>or</strong>es f<strong>or</strong>med on a cushion of angular cells3–8.5 µm diam. Setae not observed. Conidioph<strong>or</strong>es hyaline topale brown, smooth-walled, septate, branched, to 40 µm long.Conidiogenous cells hyaline, smooth-walled, cylindrical, 7–16.5 ×3.5–4.5 µm, opening 1–2 µm diam, collarette distinct, 0.5–1 µmlong, periclinal thickening distinct. Conidia hyaline, smooth-walled,aseptate, straight, subglobose, broadly ellipsoidal to oval, with bothends ± acute, (3.5–)6.5–10.5(–13.5) × (3.5–)4–5(–5.5) µm, mean± SD = 8.5 ± 1.8 × 4.5 ± 0.5 µm, L/W ratio = 1.9.Culture characteristics (<strong>CBS</strong> 126518): Colonies on SNA flat withentire margin, hyaline to pale honey, on filter paper, Anthriscusstem and medium partly covered with floccose white aerialmycelium, reverse hyaline to pale honey; growth rate 14–17.5mm in 7 d (23.5–27.5 mm in 10 d). Colonies on OA umbonate withentire margin; surface rosy buff to pale purplish grey, covered withwoolly to floccose-felty white to pale grey aerial mycelium, reverserosy buff, olivaceous grey to iron grey; growth rate 16–17.5 mm in7 d (27.5–28 mm in 10 d). Conidia in mass pale salmon.Material examined: Netherlands, Emmelo<strong>or</strong>d, from twisted stem of Carthamussp., unknown collection date and collect<strong>or</strong>, culture <strong>CBS</strong> 126518 = PD 84/520; fromvascular discol<strong>or</strong>ation of Glebionis carinata, collection date and collect<strong>or</strong> unknown,culture <strong>CBS</strong> 126519 = PD 85/694. China, Hong Kong, from leaf spot of Glebionisc<strong>or</strong>onaria, (deposited in IMI 1994 by Wan-chi Ko as culture no. 1964), culture IMI365540.Notes: Gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ium chrysanthemi was described by H<strong>or</strong>ias causing severe anthracnose disease in Chrysanthemumc<strong>or</strong>onarium (= Glebionis c<strong>or</strong>onaria) in the Fukuoka prefecture inJapan (Takimoto 1924) and transferred to <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> by Sawada(1943). A pathogen of another Asteraceae plant, Carthamustinct<strong>or</strong>ius, was described in Japan by Fukui as Marssonia carthami(Fukui 1916, see also Tanaka 1917). The fungus was transferred toGloeosp<strong>or</strong>ium by H<strong>or</strong>i & Hemmi.Uematsu et al. (2012) re-examined authentic specimens of C.chrysanthemi collected by Takimoto in 1919 and of G. carthamicollected by Hemmi in 1915 and sequenced the ITS1 and TUB2regions of these specimens as well as of isolates from Carthamus,Chrysanthemum and Calendula <strong>species</strong> from Japan. The resultingsequences place the two <strong>species</strong> in the C. acutatum <strong>species</strong><strong>complex</strong>. While all specimens and strains had almost identicalITS sequences, there were two groups in the TUB2 phylogeny,placing most of the Calendula isolates with the authentic specimenof Gm. carthami and the Chrysanthemum and Carthamus isolatesas well as two Calendula isolates with the authentic specimen ofGm. chrysanthemi, suggesting the two <strong>species</strong> to be separate.In spite of this, the auth<strong>or</strong>s regard C. chrysanthemi as synonymof the older <strong>species</strong> G. carthami. Based on TUB2 sequences ofthe authentic specimens (AB696992, AB696993) and some ofthe strains from Calendula (AB688785, AB688787), Carthamus(AB688807, AB688811) and Chrysanthemum (AB688791) includedin our alignment (not shown), isolates studied here group with theJapanese isolates from Carthamus and Chrysanthemum and theauthentic specimen of Gm. chrysanthemi, and we theref<strong>or</strong>e treatthem here as C. chrysanthemi . The TUB2 sequences of theCalendula isolates and the authentic material of Gm. carthamiappear to belong to a different clade that is not included in ourstudy.There are few additional rep<strong>or</strong>ts of <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> onCarthamus, Chrysanthemum and Calendula. Sette et al. (1999)rep<strong>or</strong>t C. acutatum on Carthamus tinct<strong>or</strong>ius in K<strong>or</strong>ea; the fungusf<strong>or</strong>med strongly fusif<strong>or</strong>m conidia (see fig. 2 in Sette et al. 1999),and f<strong>or</strong>med setae at least occasionally on host plant and PDAmedium. Vichova et al. (2011) found C. simmondsii on Carthamustinct<strong>or</strong>ius in the Czech Republic. There is another <strong>species</strong> thatwas also described on Chrysanthemum and Dahlia in P<strong>or</strong>tugal, C.dahliae; this <strong>species</strong> however f<strong>or</strong>ms larger conidia with round ends,measuring 16–19 × 5.3–7 µm (Costa & Sousa da Câmara 1953).<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> chrysanthemi is separated from other <strong>species</strong>by all diagnostic genes applied in this study except f<strong>or</strong> ITS, bestwith TUB2, GAPDH and HIS3, and its very sh<strong>or</strong>t acute-endedconidia differ from those of other <strong>species</strong> of the C. acutatum <strong>species</strong><strong>complex</strong>. The ITS sequence of strain <strong>CBS</strong> 126518 matches with100 % identity with AB042306 and AB042307 from isolates fromCarthamus and Chrysanthemum in Japan (M<strong>or</strong>iwaki J, TsukiboshiT, Sato T, Uematsu S, unpubl. data), and also with AJ749675 fromisolates PD85/694 (= <strong>CBS</strong> 126519), sequenced by Talhinhas etal. (2005) and AY376508 Ga. acutata strain STE-U 5303 (= <strong>CBS</strong>112989, C. laticiphilum) from Hevea (Lubbe et al. 2004). Closestmatch in a blastn search with the TUB2 sequence of strain <strong>CBS</strong>126518 with 100 % identity was AJ748632 from isolate PD85/694(= <strong>CBS</strong> 126519, included in this study), sequenced by Talhinhaset al. (2005). Closest matches with the GAPDH sequence with 95% identity (12 and 13 differences) were HM038336 from isolateMFU09 0628 from Mangifera indica and HM038337 from isolateMFU09 0624 from Ziziphus mauritiana, both from Laos (Phoulivonget al. 2010).<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> cosmi Damm, P.F.
