Notes.

Stagonosporopsis caricae was synonymised as Phoma caricae with Mycosphaerella caricae previously ( Sivanesan 1990). It formed a distinct lineage in Stagonosporopsis (Fig. 4 View Figure 4 ). Zhang et al. (2022) observed its sexual morph and is characterised by ascomata pseudothecioid, subglobose, 121 × 142 μm, ostiolate, walls of brown textura angularis and smooth. Asci were bitunicate, cylindrical to clavate, 7 × 90 μm, 8 - spored, ascospores elliptical, straight to slightly curved, 5 × 17 μm, 1 - septate, constricted at the septum, sub-hyaline and smooth. As one of three Stagonosporopsis species, S. caricae caused gummy stem blight ( Jeong et al. 2022 b; Seblani et al. 2023). In the present study, two isolates from healthy tea plant leaves grouped with S. caricae with high statistical support (Fig. 4 View Figure 4 ). This is the first report of S. caricae isolated from C. sinensis .
