| Various old records of Phoma lingam (teleomorph Leptosphaeria maculans) on non-cruciferous plants proved to be based on misidentifications. In the past the fungus has also often been confused with other fungi occurring on crucifers. Forty-five species formerly classified under the generic synonyms Plenodomus, Diploptenodomus, Leptophoma and Deuterophoma were excluded from Phoma sect. Plenodomus, seventeen of them being non-scleroplectenchymatous species of Phoma. Asteromella cocogena, Asteromella pomi and Phoma versabilis are described as new species and twelve new combinations are proposed: Ascochyta aggregata (Höhnel), Cytosporella cenangium (Corda), Fusicoccum hoveniae (Gucevicz), Phacidiella hiemalis (Desm.), Phoma cruenta (Sydow), Phoma filarszkyana... |
