Abstract

Valsaceae and Vialaeaceae

Diaporthales

Diatrypaceae (Diatrypales)

Amphisphaeriaceae and Hyphonectriaceae (Xylariales)

endophyte

Ilex

Mycology

Vialaea insculpta, occurring on Ilex aquifolium, is illustrated and redescribed from nature and pure culture to assess morphological features used in its classification and to report new molecular studies of the Vialaeaceae and its ordinal disposition. Tests of the germination of the distinctive ascospores in water containing parts of Ilex flowers after seven days resulted in the production of appressoria without mycelium. Phylogenetic analyses based on a fragment of ribosomal RNA gene small subunit suggest that the taxon belongs in Xylariales.
