Two new Morinia species from palms (Arecaceae) in Portugal
2021
Pereira, Diana Santos | Phillips, Alan J. L.
During the course of a study of palm fungi in Portugal, several Bartilinia-like taxa were isolated. Morphological characters and phylogenetic data derived from ITS and LSU sequences supported the establishment of two new Morinia species introduced here as M. trachycarpi and M. phoenicicola spp. nov. isolated from foliar diseases of ornamental palm trees in Lisbon, Portugal. The morphological concept of Morinia is broadened to include enclosed pycnidial conidiomata and conidia with wedge-shaped apical cells, new distinctive morphological characteristics observed in M. trachycarpi. Bartalinia robillardoides was also isolated and is presented here as a new host and geographical record on foliar lesions of Phoenix reclinata from Lisbon, Portugal. Comparative morphological data on species of Morinia, as well as a key to species in Morinia, are provided and discussed.
