DNA sequence comparisons revealed high similarity to S. tropicale (DLUCC- 1689), with 99.38 % identity in the ITS, 100.00 % in the LSU, and 99.71 % in the rpb 2 gene. However, noticeable morphological differences were observed when compared to both the original description by Ellis (1958) and the description provided by Bao et al. (2021), particularly in the size of the conidiophores and conidia.</p><p>The conidiophores in our collection ( S. tropicale GMB 5105) are longer (76–392 × 4–8 µm) than those reported by Bao et al. (2021) for S. tropicale (DLUCC- 1689) (71–163 × 5–8 µm), while the conidia are slightly smaller (65–134 × 12–16 µm vs. 94–184 × 13–15 µm). In the original description by Ellis (1958), S. tropicale was characterized by even longer conidiophores (40–340 µm) and larger conidia (80–230 µm), highlighting the morphological variability. These differences may be attributed to environmental factors such as geography, humidity, temperature, or the developmental stage of the specimens. However, the morphological characteristics of our specimens fall within the range of the features described in the original description by Ellis (1958). Previously, S. tropicale has been reported on dead branches of various dicotyledonous plants, including Averrhoa carambola, Blighia unijugata, Camellia sinensis, Psidium guajava, Chrysophyllum albidum, Cola nitida, Dillenia indica, Hevea brasiliensis, Glyphaea brevis, Homalium aylmeri, Lecaniodiscus cupanioides, Ochthocosmus africanus, Parinari excelsa, Phyllanthus discoideus, and Pimenta officinalis . In this study, we report S. tropicale on a new host monocot plant, Pinus yunnanensis . The strain GMB 5105 is therefore designated as a new host record.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/36AB9057A7915431A929E083BD4E830C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
