sp. nov., a novel species of endophytic fungus from .

During a survey of endophytic fungi in aquatic plants collected from Tibet, PR China, a novel species, was isolated from . This novel species differs from other species of the genus by its finely verrucose, obovoid, ellipsoidal-obovoid and occasionally subglobose conidia. Phylogenetic analysis of the combined sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and the translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene () confirmed that the isolated strain represents a member of the genus . A full description, illustrations and a phylogenetic tree showing the position of are provided.
