- Abstract
A Colletotrichum sp. was isolated from water-soaked lesions on sansevieria ( Sansevieria trifasciata Prain cv. Laurentii) in Japan. Classifying the species only from the morphology of the fungus was difficult; therefore, host range was tested and the ribosomal DNA ITS2 region was phylogenetically analyzed. The fungus was pathogenic only on sansevieria among 20 test plants belonging to 11 families. In a phylogenetic analysis with the neighbor-joining method, the two isolates used formed a single-isolate clade. The fungus is thus proposed to be a new species, Colletotrichum sansevieriae. This report is the first of anthracnose on sansevieria.
