Foliophoma fallens (Sacc.) Crous 2017

Notes: Phoma fallens is associated with leaf spots of Olea europaea in Europe (conidia 7–9 × 3–4 µm), while Phoma glaucispora (conidia 5–8 × 2.5–4.5 µm) is associated with leaf spots on Nerium oleander in Europe (Boerema et al. 2004). Phylogenetically, however, De Gruyter et al. (2013) found these two species to be closely related, and therefore treated them as a single species, placing them in Pleospora based on the larger circumscription used at the time. However, the present fungus is not congeneric with Stemphylium herbarum (syn. Pleospora herbarum; Rossman et al. 2015), and therefore a new generic name is introduced to accommodate it.
