(all Myrtaceae) in central and northern Taiwan in spring of 2025, indicating a sudden and widespread outbreak in Taiwan. On M. leucadendra and S. jambos, the uredinia were associated with wilt and death of young shoots and suckers. Leaf spots were found on adult trees, and in Syzygium sp. also on seedlings. Teliospores were found only on Rh. tomentosa. ITS rDNA sequences supported the species identification of the rust fungus.
關鍵詞:子囊菌門 / 圖座菌科 / 分類學 / 炭角菌科 | Keywords: Ascomycota / Graphostromataceae / taxonomy / Xylariaceae摘要:在臺灣採集到的一種圖座菌屬真菌,被描述為新種臺灣圖座菌 (Graphostroma formosanum)。其主要形態特徵與該屬模式種平孔圖座菌 (G. platystoma)相似,但不同處在於子囊孢子較小、分生孢子較大、孔口較窄,以及分佈於亞熱帶地區。ITS序列分析進一步支持臺灣圖座菌與平孔圖座菌及其它圖座菌屬物種之間的差異性。Abstract: A Graphostroma species, described as G. formosanum, was collected in Taiwan. It shares the main characteristics of the type species G. platystoma but differs mainly in having smaller ascospores, larger conidia, smaller ostiolar openings, and a subtropical distribution. The distinctiveness of G. formosanum from G. platystoma and other Graphostroma species is further supported by ITS sequence analyses.
