Hymenoscyphus "calycinoides" 170424 001
Miguel Ángel Ribes, 06-08-2024 12:38
Miguel Ãngel RibesGood morning

This small (< 1.5 mm diameter) white Hymenoscyphus was growing on very moist leaves of Clethra arborea in Madeira, Ribeira do Seixal.

Asci octosporic, IKI+, with croziers and Hymenoscyphus-like apical apparatus, (80.9) 82.8 - 95.9 (103.8) × (8.4) 9.4 - 11 (12.1) µm; N = 36; Me = 87.7 × 10.4 µm in vivo.


Ascospores ellipsoidal, with a central septum, slightly constricted at the septum, with some small to medium LBs, (10.2) 11 - 13.3 (13.9) × (3.8) 4.1 - 5 (5.7) µm; Q = (2,1) 2,4 - 3 (3,3) ; N = 60; Me = 12,2 × 4,6 µm ; Qe = 2,7 in vivo.


Paraphyses cylindrical, septate, but without VBs.


Ectal exciple with textura prismatica, with very short cells. Medullary exciple with textura intricata.


With Baral's keys I arrive at Hymenoscyphus "calycinoides", but I don't see VBs in the paraphyses and it seems that the species is not published, at least under that name.


Many thanks in advance.

Miguel Ángel Ribes.

This H. calycinoides nom. prov. I later identified as H. varicosporioides, see my foder Cudoniella.

The absence of VBs is strange, but in ERD-6890 they are also absent!

Your spore table you can turn upside down, the spores are a bit heteropolar.

Thanks Zotto

Despite the absence of VBs, it seems there is no other possibility, right?

I will turn the table around, thanks.

Re : Hymenoscyphus "calycinoides" 170424 001
The problems are that (1) we de not know for sure that these are two species, and (2) if so, which is varicosporioides. I am quite sure they are two species. From the data in my folders it seems obvious that those without VBs are from southern, +/- mediterranean Europe and those with VBs from central, temperate Europe. The type is from warm-temperate Japan (Kyoto).

An older synonym is Cudoniella indica, from Natal (South Africa).

Sequences which I see in GenBank are from Asia and South Africa, also USA. They show some deviation (up to 2% in ITS). It would be interesting to compare the two from Europe (with/without VBs)!

Re : Hymenoscyphus "calycinoides" 170424 001
Maybe we should go back to Madeira for more material, because I seem to remember that the collection is made up of the 3 apothecia seen in the photo and I probably spent 1 or 1/2 of them making the micro. If I see that it is possible, I could send it to be sequenced.

Thanks Zotto
