Ellisembia appendiculata sp. nov. from Hainan, China

Abstract

Ellisembia appendiculata is described and illustrated as a new species from a specimen collected on dead branches of an unidentified broadleaf tree in Hainan Province. The fungus is characterized by distinct, unbranched conidiophores with monoblastic conidiogenous cells that produce distoseptate, obclavate or ellipsoidal conidia with 1 – 2 filiform, hyaline, aseptate, simple or branched appendages.
