Embellisia oxytropis, a new species isolated from Oxytropis kansuensis in China

摘要

Embellisia oxytropis, isolated from Oxytropis kansuensis in China, is described and illustrated as a new species. This species is characterized by cylindrical conidia with 3-4 transverse septa and 1-celled abundant chlamydospores. Since the genus Embellisia was established and segregated from Helminthosporium by Simmons (1971) based on the morphological characteristics of conidiophores, conidia and conidial septa, 21 species have been described or transferred from other genera (de Hoog & Muller 1973;Muntanola-Cvetkovic & Ristanovic 1976; Simmons 1983, 1990, 2004; David et al 2000).
