J.C. FRISVAD &R.A.SAMSONplaced by Pitt (1979) in the Italica, seems in spite <strong>of</strong>its cylindrical to pyriform conidia, to be better classifiedin series Expansa. It is regarded to be an extremevariant <strong>of</strong> P. expansum. P. japonicum (<strong>CBS</strong> 327.59),placed by Pitt (1979) under P. resticulosum, is atypical P. italicum.Series Gladioli Raper & Thom ex Stolk & Samson,Adv. Pen. Asp.

Pl. 19:77, 1928Neotype: IMI 034911<strong>of</strong>ten present. There are no teleomorphs known, butE. crustaceum was regarded as the teleomorph <strong>of</strong> P.gladioli by Pitt (1979). Even though this pair <strong>of</strong>species is not representing the same species, theysurely show a series <strong>of</strong> morphological similarities.P. gladioli shows some affinities with the seriesCorymbifera. Both series are distinguished by thestructure <strong>of</strong> their cultures. Species <strong>of</strong> the seriesCorymbifera are characterized by well-defined synnemata,whereas in P. gladioli, the conidiophores areusually mononematous, with only a few small fasciclesoccasionally present. Moreover the sclerotiawhich are typically present in P. gladioli are lackingin the Corymbifera. In both series the majority <strong>of</strong>species can cause a rot in below ground roots, bulbs,or onions.Species <strong>of</strong> the series Gladioli show many affinitieswith those <strong>of</strong> the other series <strong>of</strong> the <strong>subgenus</strong><strong>Penicillium</strong>, though especially with the series Viridicata.All <strong>of</strong> them agree in the structure <strong>of</strong> their conidiophores.The Gladioli are mainly distinguishedfrom the other species <strong>of</strong> the present section by theirhard, well-developed sclerotia and poor sporulation.Section Digitatum Frisvad & Samson, sect. nov.= Series Digitata Raper & Thom ex Stolk & Samson,Adv.

Conidiophores and conidia <strong>of</strong> (A) P. gladioli and(B) P. sinaicumSeries diagnosis: Conidiophores are mononematous,occasionally slightly synnematous. Stipes are varyingin length, but are typically long. They are bearingterminal, slender one-two-three-stage-branchedpenillus, but with the lower branch <strong>of</strong>ten somewhatdivergent, and stipes <strong>of</strong>ten rough walled. Metulae inverticils <strong>of</strong> 2-5; one to two, usually single, lowerbranches, each one with 2-4 apical metulae. Phialidesconsisting <strong>of</strong> a cylindrical base and a relatively short,narrowed neck. In P. gladioli conidia globose tosubglobose (occasionally at first ellipsoidal), withwalls smooth, adhering in parallel or tangled chains,sometimes forming ill-defined columns.
