Notes: Roberts (1999) considered R. ramicola to be synonymous with a broadly circumscribed Cb. cornigerum . No type has been designated for Cb. cornigerum ; however, it was described from a locality in France from rotting stems of Helianthus tuberosus . In contrast, R. ramicola was described from living twigs, petioles, and leaf blades of Pittosporum tobira and Elaeagnus pungens in the United States. The ex-type sequence of R. ramicola used in this study is placed in the UNITE database as SH0814574.10FU, and sequences from this species hypothesis occur in the Americas, Indonesia, and several localities in Europe. With this considered, given the distinctions between R. ramicola and Cb. cornigerum in host plants, the differences in their pathology (leaf blight vs root rot), and the geographical distance between their type localities, it would be prudent at this stage to consider the two as distinct entities and we recognise them here as such with the resurrection of the name R. ramicola and the transfer of the name Cb. cornigerum to Rhizoctonia .
