A New Species

Sporophores of a newPsathyrellaspecies have been reported for the first time as growing at the base ofCladiummariscusculms in the Botanical Garden of the University of Calabria, Rende, Cosenza, southern Italy. The fungus was initially identified asP.thujina(=P.almerensis) by means of both ecology and macro- and microscopic characteristics of the basidiomes, then referred toP.cladii-mariscisp. nov. after extraction, amplification, purification and analysis of the rDNA ITS region. We came to this conclusion after comparing our specimen with the descriptions of the taxa available in the literature for the genusPsathyrella.

A New Species

Crocus asymmetricus (Iridaceae) is described as a new species endemic to the southern part of the Anatolian diagonal in Turkey. It is phylogenetically related to C. vitellinus and morphologically to C. antalyensis, but differs from these species in showing an asymmetric corm and a single point of root emergence. Both C. antalyensis and C. asymmetricus are illustrated and compared in this paper. A Bayesian phylogenetic tree of the nuclear rDNA ITS region confirms the affiliation of C. asymmetricus to C. ser. Flavi, and its close relationship to C. vitellinus. A new identification key to the species of C. ser. Flavi occurring in Turkey is also presented.

A new species of Bunium from Central Anatolia (Turkey), Bunium sivasicum (Apiaceae), is described and illustrated. The taxonomic affinities of the new species are determined by detailed morphological investigation and molecular phylogenetic study. Nuclear rDNA-ITS region sequences are used to reveal the phylogenetic relationship of the new species. It belongs to the sect. Elegantia and is related to Bunium simplex, B elegans and B. verruculosum. The differences between the new species and its allies are discussed. Pollen characteristics and fruit surface features of the new species are investigated. The anatomical structure of the fruit is given in detail. In addition, the geographical distributions of the Bunium sivasicum and related taxa in Anatolia are also mapped.

The revision of specimens in the lichen herbarium of the University of Tartu revealed 127 specimens representing 86 species from the Leningrad Region and Saint Petersburg; these include Calicium adspersum published as a new species for the Leningrad Region and Carbonicola anthracophila reported for the first time for the Eastern Leningrad Region. A curious finding is Umbilicaria muehlenbergii, collected in 1954 in the northern part of Karelian Isthmus. Forgotten collections by Anne-Liis Sõmermaa (1972) from the territory of the modern Vepssky Forest Nature Park, by Haide-Ene Rebassoo (1988) from Maly Tuters Island (Vähä-Tytärsaari, Säyvö) and by Paul von Kühlewein (“regio Petropolitano”, 19th century) are of special interest.

A New Species

The genus Biscogniauxia is paraphyletic to members of the family Xylariaceae and includes at least 52 species to date that are mainly pathogens of dicotyledonous angiosperm trees. Most of these are forest trees, such as those in the genera Acacia, Acer, Alnus, Eucalyptus, Fraxinus, Populus, and Quercus, and other species of minor importance. Biscogniauxia spp. have been reported as endophytes or secondary invaders that attack only stressed plants. During a survey in rosaceous orchards in southern Italy, several charcoal cankers were observed and stroma samples were collected. A collection of 31 Biscogniauxia isolates was analyzed. Their phylogenetic relationships were determined through study of the internal transcribed spacer, β-tubulin, and actin gene sequences. Combining morphological, cultural, and molecular data, a new species of Biscogniauxia is described here as Biscogniauxia rosacearum. This new species was isolated for the first time from rosaceous hosts in Apulia. Pathogenicity tests showed that it causes symptoms on stems when artificially inoculated and produces stromata on the bark surface.

In this study, Erysimum nemrutdaghense Mutlu (Brassicaceae) is described as a new species from the province of Adıyaman in the South-east Anatolia. In order to determine the phylogenetic relationships of the new species, a portion of the nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences of ITS region was used. In addition to the new species, ITS regions of five Erysimum species were sequenced. Erysimum sintenisianum Bornm., E. lazistanicum (Rupr.) Lipsky, and E. stenophyllum Polatschek were sequenced in this study for the first time. The diagnostic morphological and phylogenetic characteristics are discussed with similar species. SEM images of trichomes on different parts of siliqua, stigma, and seed are given. Chromosome number of the new species is found to be 2n=16.

Species Descriptions

Mushrooms with a thin-fleshed pileus that becomes plicate on opening, deliquescent lamellae and dark brown to blackish basidiospores are commonly called coprinoid mushrooms. The genusCoprinellusis one of the important lineages of coprinoid mushroom in the family Psathyrellaceae. Species-level taxonomy inCoprinellusis based mainly on the presence or absence and the structure of veil and cystidia on the pileus, of cystidia on the lamellae and on basidiospore morphology. In this study, four new species ofCoprinellus(Co.campanulatus,Co.disseminatus-similis,Co.pakistanicusandCo.tenuis) are described from Pakistan. Species descriptions are based on morphological and molecular data. Phylogenetic analyses based on nuc rDNA ITS region show that the new speciesCo.campanulatusandCo.disseminatus-similisare clustered in a clade including members of section Micacei;Co.tenuisfalls in a clade with members of section Domestici; andCo.pakistanicusrecovered in a separate clade adjacent to other recently described clades of genusCoprinellus. Morpho-anatomical descriptions of the new species and comparison with closely allied taxa are provided. With this study, the number of known species ofCoprinellusin Pakistan has reached eight.

A new species of rust fungus, Puccinia marrubii sp. nov. is described from Turkey. The new species is the first Puccinia species to be identified on genus Marrubium (Lamiaceae). In order to determine the phylogenetic relationships of the new species, ITS region was amplified by PCR, sequenced, and analyzed. In addition to the ITS region of seven Puccinia species, P. annularis, P. jasmini, P. malvacearum, P. nigrescens, P. phlomidis, P. salviae, and P. serpylli were sequenced for the first time. Phylogenetic analyses performed by using distance, Bayesian methods confirmed that the new rust was closely related to P. serpylli, P. malvacearum, P. salviae, and P. annularis. The diagnostic morphological characteristics of the new species were discussed with the phylogenetically related species.

Hiptage is an Asia-endemic genus of Malpighiaceae currently placed in the tetrapteroid clade, representing one of the seven inter-continent dispersions from New to Old World. A molecular phylogeny based on sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region was recovered for the first time for the genus. Our results showed that the most recent common ancestor of Hiptage probably originated in the South Indo-China Peninsula and diversified in this region. Based on phylogenetic evidence and relevant morphological traits, we propose a new species; Hiptage incurvatum is characterised by mericarps with arcuate anterior lateral wings, two large glands on the dorsal sepals, and small glands on the remaining sepals. The new species is from Mt. Cangshan, Dali City (25°35'N, 100°02'E) in North Yunnan, Southwest China and is notable for its occurrence at high altitude, 1400 m (the highest distribution currently known for the genus). The implications of this unusual species for the dispersal and evolution of the genus are discussed.

Abstract:Phylloblastia inexpectata Sérus., Coppins & Lücking is a newly described foliicolous lichen, known from England, Scotland, Southern Italy and Madeira. It is distinguished from similar and related species by the absence of isidia and the smaller size of its ascospores. Phylloblastia pocsii is reported from Papua New Guinea for the first time.
