Talaromyces unicus and its anamorph Penicillium unicum isolated from preheated soil are described as a new species. The teleomorph is characterized by soft, pelliculate yellow ascocarps, slightly curved ascal chains, spinose ascospores with a monoequatorial flange or X-, Y-, spiral-, or cross-shaped, irregularly disposed flanges. The anamorph is characterized by mono- or biverticillate penicilli with long necked lanceolate phialides. The distinction between T. unicus and some closely related species, viz. T. leycettanus, T. luteus, T. ohiensis, T. stipitatus, T. themophilus, and T. udagawae is discussed.
