Abstract

Specimens of Daldinia (Xylariaceae) from around the world possessing large ascospores were studied for teleomorphic and anamorphic morphological characters and compared with authentic material of D. grandis. A culture made from a specimen of D. grandis collected from Ecuador produced stromatic structures, but no conidiogenous structures referable to known xylariaceous anamorphs were observed. D. grandis is reconsidered and viewed as a species of warmer climates in the Americas. Three new species are recognised from new combinations of anamorphic and teleomorphic characters: (1) D. novaezelandiae sp. nov. from New Zealand, a fungus obviously related to D. bakeri, which is also reported from that country; (2) D. dennisii sp. nov., from Australia and New Zealand, of which two varieties are erected; and (3) D. loculatoides sp. nov., from the UK and Canada with affinities to D. loculata. The type of Sphaeria durissima was identified as D. loculata. Notes on further Daldinia spp. are included.
