Mycol.Romanicum, fasc. 60, no. 2990.Notes: This fungus is a weak pathogen of Stellaria media <strong>in</strong> theNetherlands, on which it is only seen under very humid conditions.Especially the lower parts of plants that are sheltered by thesurround<strong>in</strong>g vegetation are affected. Jørstad (1965) observedconidia up <strong>to</strong> 82 µm <strong>in</strong> length on Stellaria crassifolia, and up <strong>to</strong> 96µm long on Stellaria media, the type host. It has also been reportedfrom other Stellaria spp., and Myoso<strong>to</strong>n (Radulescu et al. 1973,Vanev et al. 1997, Markevičius & Treigienė 2003). Sep<strong>to</strong>ria stellariaevar. macrospora was orig<strong>in</strong>ally described from the same host asS. stellariae, Stellaria media. Accord<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> Teterevnikova-Babayan(1987), conidia of this variety measure 50–120 × 2.5–4 µm. Onfresh plant material studied here conidia longer than 70 µm werenot observed, but the isolates obta<strong>in</strong>ed thereof did produce conidiaup <strong>to</strong> 84 µm long. Sequence analyses of <strong>CBS</strong> 102376, 102378,and 102410 orig<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g from three different localities showed nosignificant polymorphisms <strong>in</strong> the seven loci, <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g that materialbelongs <strong>to</strong> a s<strong>in</strong>gle taxon. Whether the variety macrospora istenable, is unclear at this po<strong>in</strong>t. We agree with Jørstad (1965), thatthe connection with the sexual morph Mycosphaerella isariphorasuggested <strong>in</strong> the literature, requires confirmation. It is thereforelisted as a tentative synonym of S. stellariae.Sep<strong>to</strong>ria urticae Roberge ex Desm., Annls Sci. Nat., sér. 3,Bot. 8: 24. 1847.
