Molecular and Morphological Assessment of Species Associated with Ornamental Plants in Yunnan Province, China.

The Karst landform is the main geographic characteristic in South China. Such areas are rich in vegetation and especially suitable for growth of shrubs and herbaceous plants. In this study, 11 strains were obtained from different plants' leaves collected in the Kunming Botanical Garden, Yunnan Province, China.

One new species and one new record of in China.

Background: Two hyphomycetous species were collected from leaves of (Liliales, Smilacaceae) and (Asparagales, Orchidaceae). ITS barcoding indicated that they belong to the genus .

New Information: Morphological data in combination with molecular phylogenetic analyses based on ITS, LSU and confirmed that our Chinese strains represented a new species, and a new record of .
