Damm et al.Fig. 19. <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> melonis (from ex-holotype strain <strong>CBS</strong> 159.84). A–B. Conidiomata. C–H. Conidioph<strong>or</strong>es. I–N. Appress<strong>or</strong>ia. O–P. Conidia. A, C–E, O. from Anthriscusstem. B, F–N, P. from SNA. A–B. DM, C–P. DIC, Scale bars: A = 100 µm, C = 10 µm. Scale bar of A applies to A–B. Scale bar of C applies to C–P.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> lupini is an economically significant pathogenof lupin crops w<strong>or</strong>ldwide, and there is substantial interest inbreeding resistant host cultivars (e.g. Adhikari et al. 2011). WhileC. lupini shows a clear host preference based on the strains wehave examined, a few cultures were derived from hosts otherthan lupins, namely from Manihot, Camellia and Cinnamomum.Sreenivasaprasad & Talhinhas (2005) also listed Urtica dioicaas a host. A study by Nirenberg & Gerlach (2000) showed thata strain of C. lupini var. setosum was able to infect Bergenia ingreenhouse tests. Pathogenicity tests by Sreenivasaprasad &Talhinhas (2005) also failed to show host specificity of C. acutatumstrains from lupins (= C. lupini), though Lardner et al. (1999) foundthat the strains they placed in C. acutatum Group D (now known tobelong to C. lupini) did not infect pine seedlings in the manner of C.acutatum f. sp. pineum (now regarded as C. acutatum s. str.). Thestrain from Camellia in the UK (IMI 351261) was deposited 1992 inIMI by R. Cook and is most likely one of the avirulent C. acutatumstrains rep<strong>or</strong>ted from <strong>or</strong>namental Camellia <strong>species</strong> by Dickens andCook (1989).Our phylogeny clearly supp<strong>or</strong>ts C. lupini as a distinct <strong>species</strong>within the C. acutatum <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong>. <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> lupini isseparated from other <strong>species</strong> by all genes included, except f<strong>or</strong> ACT,with TUB2 providing the best differential test.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> melonis Damm, P.F. Cannon & Crous, sp.nov. MycoBank MB800506. Fig. 19.Etymology: Named after host plant, Cucumis melo.Sexual m<strong>or</strong>ph not observed. Asexual m<strong>or</strong>ph on SNA.

Conidiomata not developed,conidioph<strong>or</strong>es f<strong>or</strong>med directly from vegetative hyphae. Setae notobserved. Conidioph<strong>or</strong>es hyaline, smooth-walled, septate, branched,degenerating rapidly. Conidiogenous cells hyaline, smooth-walled,cylindrical to ampullif<strong>or</strong>m, 7–19 × 2.5–4 µm, opening 1–1.5 µmdiam, collarette 1–1.5 µm long, periclinal thickening visible. Conidiahyaline, smooth-walled, aseptate, straight, some slightly curved,cylindrical with one end round and one end slightly acute to round,rarely both ends acute, (7–)9–16.5(–23.5) × (3–)3.5–4.5(–5) µm,mean ± SD = 12.8 ± 3.6 × 3.9 ± 0.4 µm, L/W ratio = 3.3 µm, L/Wratio = 3.7.
