2.3.14 Stigmatodiscaceae

Voglmayr et al. (2016) established the family Stigmatodiscaceae to accommodate two genera: Asterodiscus and Stigmatodiscus . However, Voglmayr and Amengual (2018) synonymized the two genera based on indistinguishable morphology and molecular characteristics. Currently, Stigmatodiscaceae contains Stigmatodiscus with seven new species. Stigmatodiscus touroultii was described from Salvadora angustifolia, a saline tree (Poncet et al. 2022). Dayarathne et al. (2020a) described Asterodiscus mangrovei from mangroves in Thailand. In the present study, Asterodiscus mangrovei is transferred to Stigmatodiscus as S. mangrovei (see notes in Stigmatodiscales).
