A <strong>new</strong> <strong>approach</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>species</strong> <strong>delimitation</strong> <strong>in</strong> Sep<strong>to</strong>riaFig. 37.

Conidiaas <strong>in</strong> planta, 22–43 × 2.2–2.5 µm.Hosts: Sium latifolium, other Sium spp. and Berula erecta (syn.Sium erectum).Material exam<strong>in</strong>ed: Netherlands, Prov.

Accord<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> the orig<strong>in</strong>al diagnosis, based onmaterial from Sium latifolium <strong>in</strong> France, the conidia are 30–40 ×2.5 µm. Most later authors have reported somewhat different sizeranges; for example Teterevnikova-Babayan (1985) observedconidia 20–60 × 1–1.5 µm, Vanev et al. (1997) 20–41 × 1.5–2.2 µm,and Radulescu et al. (1973) reported 30–40 × 2–3 µm. The materialavailable for this study proved homogeneous <strong>in</strong> morphology andgenotype. The phylogenetic data <strong>in</strong>dicate that this <strong>species</strong> is veryclosely related <strong>to</strong> S. mazi, a fungus occurr<strong>in</strong>g on Mazus japonica(Scrophulariaceae), but also <strong>to</strong> S. aegopod<strong>in</strong>a on Aegopodium sp.(Apiaceae). The conidia of S. mazi morphologically resemble thoseof S. sii, but they are narrower and the septa normally <strong>in</strong>dist<strong>in</strong>ct[15–42 × 1.5–2(–2.5) µm, Sh<strong>in</strong> & Sameva 2004].Sep<strong>to</strong>ria sisyr<strong>in</strong>chii Speg., An.
