NOTES

Hypoxylon bovei is highly associated with Nothofagus. It probably is associated with Nothofagus throughout the range of the genus. The stromata are noteworthy in being restrictedly pulvinate and containing only a few perithecia. Miller (1961) separated H. bovei from other members of section Annulata with pulvinate stromata mainly by using the size of ostiolar discs, 0.7-1 mm diam. However, our measurements of the ostiolar discs give a smaller range, 0.5-0.7 mm diam, thus overlapping with that of H. bovei var. microspora.

Hypoxylon annulatum var. patagoniensis was listed as a synonym of H. bovei by Miller (1961). Hennings' description suggests it be placed here. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate the type.
