Description.

see Boerema (1993).

Materials examined.

China, Yunnan Province, from diseased leaves of C. sinensis cv. Dalicha, 22 Jun 2019, Y. C. Wang, culture YCW 196 .

Notes.

Didymella pomorum was introduced as Phoma pomorum before the comprehensive revision of Didymellaceae (Chen et al. 2015 a) . Chen et al. (2015 a) regarded four taxa of the respective Phoma pomorum varieties, viz. vars. circinata (CBS 285.76), cyanea (CBS 388.80) and pomorum (CBS 539.66) and the species Ph. triticina (CBS 354.52) to be conspecific and treated them as a single species D. pomorum . Pycnidia produced by this species are usually subglobose-ampulliform with a distinct ostiole (Boerema 1993). It can cause leaf spots on many plants (Boerema 1993; Romero et al. 2021). In the present study, one isolate from diseased tea plant leaves is closely related to D. sinensis with high statistical support (Fig. 2). This is the first report of D. pomorum isolated from C. sinensis .
