distinguishing character of A. cinnamomi is that the appressoria are globose and lobed (Sydow, 1923; Ouyang
et al., 1996).

brown, 12.5～15×10～15 µm.
Holotype: On leaves of Litsea verticillata Hance (Lauraceae). Wuzhi Shan, Hainan Province, China.
May 17, 1988, Y.X. Hu, HMIGD 34114.
Etymology: litseae-verticillatae, in reference to the host species, Litsea verticillata.
The present species is closely related to Asterina machili Katamoto known on the family Lauraceae. The
distinguishing character of A. machili is that the ascospores are smaller (15～18×7～8 µm) and smooth
(Katamoto, 1979; Ouyang et al., 1996).
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors are deeply grateful to Prof. Dr. V. B. Hosagoudar of Microbiology
Division, Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute, Palode (India), and Ms. A. L. Zhang for their
various helps. The authors also acknowledge Prof. S. Q. Chen of the South China Institute of Botany,
Academia Sinica, Guangzhou, for identifying the host plants.
