History edit
Phylogenetic analyses of a combined DNA data matrix containing nuclear small and large subunits (nSSU, nLSU) and mitochondrial small subunit (mtSSU) ribosomal RNA and the largest and second largest subunits of the RNA polymerase II (rpb1, rpb2) of representative Pezizomycotina revealed that the enigmatic genera Xylobotryum and Cirrosporium form an isolated, highly supported phylogenetic lineage within Leotiomyceta. The generic type species is X. andinum[8]
Xylobotryum is an enigmatic stromatic ascomycete genus characterised by a unique suite of characters, i.e., perithecioid ascomata on erect, branched or unbranched stromata, a hama-thecium of true paraphyses with apically free ends, bitunicate fissitunicate asci with an apically or laterally rupturing ectotu-nica and a thick endotunica with an inamyloid apical ring, and bicellular brown ellipsoid ascospores with 3–5 longitudinal germ slits per ascospore cell (Ju & Rogers 1994).[8]
Distribution edit
It has a scattered distribution, it has been found in South America, Australia and New Zealand,[9] as well as parts of North America, Europe and Africa.[10]
