Morphological studies in Rosellinia (Xylariaceae): the first step towards a polyphasic taxonomy.
More than 90 species are accepted in the xylariaceous genus Rosellinia. Thorough morphological characterisation of all known species will provide a taxonomic hypothesis that can be later tested by DNA sequence analysis. Exploratory analyses of ascospore morphology, shape of ascus apical structure, and anamorph genus suggest six morphological groups in the genus.
