Notes.

Epicoccum rosae had pycnidial conidiomata with hyaline conidia and hyphomycetous dark sporodochia with branched conidiophores and verruculose, muriform chlamydospores. It formed a distinct lineage closely related to E. tobaicum (Fig. 3). In the present study, three strains were isolated from diseased tea plant leaves. This is the first report of E. rosae isolated from C. sinensis .
