SELF-FERTILITY IN THE SCLEROTINIACEAE

Abstract
Nine species representing five genera of the Sclerotiniaceae were found to be self-fertile. These are as follows: Ciboria acericola sp. nov., C. acerina Whetz. & Buchw., C. amentacea (Balb. ex Fr.) Fckl., C. betulicola sp. nov., C. caucus (Rebent. ex Fr.) Fckl., Ciborinia erythronii (Whetz.) Whetz., Rutstroemia paludosa (Cash & Davidson) comb. nov., Septotinia podophyllina Whetz., and Verpatinia calthicola Whetz. Two new species and one new combination are proposed and validating Latin diagnoses are provided for Ciboria acerina, the genus Septotinia, and S. podophyllina.
