Notes.

Epicoccum dendrobii formed a distinct clade, closely related to E. jingdongense and E. puerense (Fig. 3). It produced typical epicoccoid conidia (multicellular-phragmosporous, verrucose). In the present study, three strains were isolated from healthy or diseased tea plant leaves. This is the first report of E. dendrobii isolated from C. sinensis .
