A <strong>new</strong> <strong>approach</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>species</strong> <strong>delimitation</strong> <strong>in</strong> Sep<strong>to</strong>riablue, covered by a diffuse, very short, felty, white aerial mycelium;abundant superficial conidiomata releas<strong>in</strong>g s<strong>to</strong>ut cirrhi of rosy-buffconidial slime; reverse blood colour.Hosts: Astragalus spp.Material exam<strong>in</strong>ed: Austria, Tirol, Ötztal, Ötz, near Habichen W of Ötztaler Aache,1 Aug. 2000, on liv<strong>in</strong>g leaves of Astragalus glycyphyllos, G.

Romanicum 4, 166, PC 0084568 (sub S.astragali f. san<strong>to</strong>nensis).Notes: The type specimen <strong>in</strong> PC of S. astragali conta<strong>in</strong>s severalmounted leaves and is provided with a hand-written description <strong>in</strong>French. Conidia observed <strong>in</strong> this material are mostly 7–9-septate,85–130 × 2.5–3.5 μm. The type thus agrees well with the orig<strong>in</strong>aldescription which <strong>in</strong>dicated conidia 120 × 3 µm, with 9–10 septa.Of the other collections available for this study that generallyall agree with the type <strong>in</strong> morphology and leaf symp<strong>to</strong>ms, 1036from Tirol is chosen as epitype. Various authors have reportedcomparable conidial measurements for this large-spored Sep<strong>to</strong>ria.Jørstad (1965) reported conidial measurements 48–128 × 3–3.5µm, Teterevnikova-Babayan (1987) 60–140 × 3–4 µm, Vanev et al.(1997), 58–112 × 2.5–3.5 µm. Accord<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> the orig<strong>in</strong>al diagnosis,S. astragali var. brencklei, described from Lathyrus venosus <strong>in</strong>North Dakota, has 8–10-septate conidia, 130–150 × 4–5 µm,and Teterevnikova-Babayan (1987) placed it <strong>in</strong> synonymy with S.astragali. Sep<strong>to</strong>ria astragali is one of the first of over 200 Sep<strong>to</strong>riathat were described from plants of the family Fabaceae.Sep<strong>to</strong>ria campanulae (Lév.)
