Nectria illudens Berk. 1855

Description

Scattered, or slightly crowded, but not caespitose, globose, bright yellow-ochre, or cinnabar, rough with little warts, which are composed of large cells, dimpled at the apex. Sporidia elliptic, subcymbiform, 1/1162 of an inch long, 2/5 as much broad

Latin

sparsa, globosa, cellulis hic illic conglomeratis, rugosa, ochracea cinnabarinaqne, apice collapso umbilicata, sporis ellipticis uniseptatis amplis.

Notes

This has some resemblance to N. ochracea and cinnabiarina, if the two are really distinct, but may be known by the larger size, the more ample cells of which the warts are composed, and the far larger and broader Sporidia. In different specimens of N. cinnabarina, they vary from 1/1750 to 1/2000 of an inch long. I have an authentic specimen of Dr. Greville's N. ochracea, which is very different from that before us, but unfortunately the fructification is immature. The cells of the warts are, however, far smaller, and resemble those of N. cinnabarina. I have no specimen of Dr. Montague's plant from Chili; but were there so striking a difference in the size and form of the sporidia, he could not have failed to point it out. They resemble, indeed, those of N. discophora, as figured in the Flora Chilena.

Haematonectria illudens (Berk.) Samuels & Nirenberg 1999

Description

Type: Corticolous Fungi; Description: Ascomata perithecial, scattered, stroma absent, globose, yellow-orange to red, warty, 0.4–0.5 mm in diameter, ostiole papillate, superficial; on bark on stems. Asci broadly cylindrical to clavate, 60–160 × 10–17 μm. Ascospores broadly elliptical to broadly fusiform, 1-septate, 20–30 × 10–14 μm, finely striate, yellow-brown. Macroconidia cylindrical, more or less falcate, 3–5-septate, 30–52 × 5–7 μm, smooth, hyaline, foot cell poorly developed. Microconidia ellipsoid, 0-septate, 6–9 × 2–3 μm, smooth, hyaline.

Distribution

Distribution: Northland, Auckland, Coromandel, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Taupo, Wellington, Gisborne, Westland, Marlborough Sounds, Southland.; 1st Record: Berkeley (1855: as Nectria illudens).

Notes

Pathogenicity

Significance: None. Probably saprobic.; Host(s): Beilschmiedia tawa, Corynocarpus laevigatus, Geniostoma rupestre var. ligustrifolium, Hoheria populnea, Melicytus ramiflorus, Metrosideros sp.
