Specimens of Coccomyces collected from Fanjingshan National Nature Reserve in Guizhou Province of China were identified as a new species and named as Coccomyces fanjingshanensis. Phylogenetic analyses of the ITS gene and combined LSU and mtSSU genes indicate that this new taxon has a close relationship with Coccomyces huangshanensis, Coccomyces cupressinus and Coccomyces radiatus.The type collection was deposited in the Herbarium of the College of Life Science, Capital Normal University, Beijing, China (BJTC).
Specimens of Coccomyces collected on Cunninghamia lanceolata in Anhui Province, China were identified as a new species and named Coccomyces anhuiensis. This is the third Coccomyces species on needles of conifers. A multi-gene phylogenetic analysis showed that the new species is closely related to Coccomyces dentatus. Specimens studied are deposited in the Herbarium of the College of Life Science, Capital Normal University, Beijing, China (BJTC).
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.
