Descriptions
Daldinia novae-zelandiae Wollw. & M. Stadler 2004
Teleomorph: This species differs from D. grandis in having white, rather than light brown lighter internal concentric zones, which often become loculate as in D. vernicosa. In addition, it has more regular, equilateral, almost ovoid ascospores, which are as variable in size as those of D. grandis (14–)16–23 × 8–13(–14) µm. Notes: This species was previously included in the concept of D. grandis by Child (1932) and Ju et al. (1997) based on the rather large ascospores. More recently, a different ascospore morphology was noted, and even its stromatal anatomy shows consistent deviations from D. grandis (Stadler et al. 2004c). Daldinia novaezelandiae rather appears related to D. bakeri and D. vernicosa and differs from other large–spored members of the genus in producing a virgariella–like anamorph. Stadler et al. (2004c) reported on the great variability in ascospore size ranges in different collections from New Zealand, which were only slightly overlapping in some cases. They attributed this phenomenon to the presence of a species complex that could eventually be further resolved by using complementary methods.
