Globoramichloridium delicatum and Heteroconium simile spp. nov. from southern China

Abstract

Two new anamorphic fungi, Globoramichloridium delicatum and Heteroconium simile, collected from dead branches of unidentified broadleaf trees in Jiangxi Province, China, are described and illustrated. Globoramichloridium delicatum is characterized by unicellular, subglobose to narrow subnapiform, yellowish-green conidia. Heteroconium simile is distinguished by its monoblastic, integrated, terminal, determinate conidiogenous cells that produce acrogenous, blastocatenate, dimorphic, 0–1-septate, smooth conidia.
