PERICONIA FUSIFORMIS ANAM. SP. NOV

Periconia fusiformis is described as a new fungal anamorph species rel ated to the group of congeneric taxa with setiform sterile apices. Its differential character is the compact conidiogenous part, which devel ops on all sides of the solitary stipes half way between the basal por tion and the sterile apex giving the fructifications a spindle-like as pect. It was found on dead stem parts of Brachypodium phoenicoides, bo rdering a stream at 800 m altitude. Microscopic structures are illustr ated with line drawings and SEM graphs.
