Damm et al.Fig. 15. <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> kingh<strong>or</strong>nii (from ex-holotype strain <strong>CBS</strong> 198.35). A–J. Conidioph<strong>or</strong>es. K–L. Conidia. H–K. from Anthriscus stem. A–G, L. from SNA. A–L. DIC, Scalebars: B = 10 µm. Scale bar of B applies to A–L.Material examined: UK, Scotland, from Ph<strong>or</strong>mium tenax, unknown collection date,N.L. Alcock (deposited in <strong>CBS</strong> collection Feb. 1935 by W.O. Kingh<strong>or</strong>n as Glomerellaphacidiom<strong>or</strong>pha), (<strong>CBS</strong> H-20909 holotype, culture ex-type <strong>CBS</strong> 198.35).Notes: Kingh<strong>or</strong>n (1936) w<strong>or</strong>ked on two strains isolated fromPh<strong>or</strong>mium from material collected in Scotland by N.L. Alcock. Bothof these were identified as C. ph<strong>or</strong>mii by Farr et al. (2006). One ofthese is confirmed as C. ph<strong>or</strong>mii in this study, but we have foundthe other (<strong>CBS</strong> 198.35) to be distinct in molecular terms. Kingh<strong>or</strong>nnamed his material Glomerella phacidiom<strong>or</strong>pha, but Farr et al.(2006) examined the type of that name and found it to be a <strong>species</strong>of Phaeosphaeriopsis.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> kingh<strong>or</strong>nii is one of the two <strong>species</strong> in the C.acutatum <strong>complex</strong> with the largest conidia; only those of C. ph<strong>or</strong>miiare bigger. However, strain <strong>CBS</strong> 198.35 hardly sp<strong>or</strong>ulates, andthe conidia measured were mostly f<strong>or</strong>med in the aerial mycelium.Acc<strong>or</strong>ding to the molecular analyses, strain <strong>CBS</strong> 198.35 must beconsidered separate at <strong>species</strong> rank from C. ph<strong>or</strong>mii, with severalsequence differences in almost every gene, and a single bpdifference in the ITS sequence (this was not detected in the Farret al. study). <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> kingh<strong>or</strong>nii is most effectively separatedfrom other <strong>species</strong> using HIS3.Closest match in blastn searches with the TUB2 sequenceof strain <strong>CBS</strong> 198.35 (with 98 % identity, 7 bp differences) wasGlomerella acutata isolate PCF 459 (EU635504) from strawberryin Belgium (Debode et al. 2009) and with 98 % identity (8 bpdifferences) isolate PT250 (= <strong>CBS</strong> 129953) AJ748624 from olivein P<strong>or</strong>tugal (see A6-1) (Talhinhas et al. 2005). This last strainis assigned to C. rhombif<strong>or</strong>me in this study. With the GAPDHsequence of strain <strong>CBS</strong> 198.35 there was no closer match fromGenBank than with 86 % identity.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> laticiphilum Damm, P.F.
