title: Ballistosporous yeasts found on the surface of plant materials collected in New Zealand. The genera Bensingtonia and Bullera with descriptions of five new species.
abstract: In the present study, strains from the surface of plant materials collected in New Zealand that belong to the genera Bensingtonia and Bullera are classified. One strain of Bensingtonia was assigned to Ben. ingoldii, while the remaining strain was assigned to Ben. naganoensis based on DNA-DNA reassociation experiment. Twenty-one of 28 Bullera strains were assigned to B. alba (11 strains), B. crocea (6 strains) and B. variabilis (4 strains). The remaining seven strains could not be assigned to any previously known species and were described as the new species, B. coprosmaensis (1 strain), B. hannae (1 strain), B. huiaensis (1 strain), B. mrakii (3 strains) and B. unica (1 strain).
