Kionochaeta pini sp. nov. and Verrucophragmia splendens gen. nov. from leaf litter in South Africa

A study of fungi occurring on leaf litter in South Africa revealed two new dematiaceous hypho-mycetes to be present. Kionochaeta pini is newly described from pine needles and is characterized by its aseptate, fusiform conidia on conidiogenous cells situated on lateral, short branches in the middle o...

Description
Summary:A study of fungi occurring on leaf litter in South Africa revealed two new dematiaceous hypho-mycetes to be present. Kionochaeta pini is newly described from pine needles and is characterized by its aseptate, fusiform conidia on conidiogenous cells situated on lateral, short branches in the middle of conidiophores. Verrucophragmia is introduced as a new genus for V. splendens, with simple, distoseptate, verrucose conidia attached to the conidiophore by means of a separating cell.
