Macrohilum eucalypti H.J. Swart 1988

Notes: The description provided by Swart (1988) for this genus is accurate. Of interest is the major difference in growth observed between the New Zealand isolate (CPC 10945; sterile) and that of the Australian epitype (CPC 19421). Based on their ITS sequences, these two isolates differ in four base pairs, and it seems probable that the New Zealand isolates represents a new species of Macrohilum. Phylogenetically Macrohilum appears to be allied to Diaporthales.

Macrohilum eucalypti H.J. Swart 1988

Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Conidiomata scattered, stromatic, pycnidial, flattened globose, subepidermal, pale to dark brown, ostiolate, up to 0.2 mm in diameter; on roughly circular (1–4 mm in diameter), pale brown necrotic spots with a dark brown margin, on both sides of leaves. Conidia oval, 1-septate, 16–20 × 10–14 μm, pale to dark brown, apex broadly rounded, base flattened with a protruding hilum.
Distribution: Northland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taupo, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay, Buller, Westland.; 1st Record: Dick (1990).
Significance: Swart (1988) described this fungus as a weak parasite that invades tissue occupied by a primary pathogen. It causes little damage.; Host(s): Eucalyptus delegatensis.
