Two new Cladosporium species, Cladosporium yunnanensis and C. paris, were discovered on medicinal plant leaves in Yunnan Province, China. The morphology and phylogenetic analysis of these new species were compared with related Cladosporium species, expanding the host diversity of the genus.
Background During the survey of pathogenic fungi on medicinal plant leaves in Yunnan Province, China, two Cladosporium-like taxa were isolated from leaf spots of Paris polyphylla. Based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, TEF1-alpha and ACT genes, two new species were discovered. New information Two new species Cladosporium yunnanensis and C. paris are introduced, the detailed descriptions and illustrations are provided. Morphology of the two new species is compared with other related Cladosporium species. This study widens the host diversity of the genus Cladosporium.
