Specimens of Coccomyces on Quercus (Cyclobalanopsis, Fagaceae) collected from Fodingshan National Nature Reserve in Guizhou Province, China, were identified as a new species and named Coccomyces fodingshanensis. A multi-gene phylogenetic analysis (ITS, LSU, mtSSU) showed that the new species is closely related to Coccomyces sinensis on Camellia species but differed by subrounded ascomata and fagaceous host.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
