Anthracnose disease of Proteaceae has in the past chiefly been attributed to infections by C . acutatum , C . boninense and C . gloeosporioides . In the present study, a multi-locus phylogenetic analysis (ACT, CAL, CHS-1, GAPDH, GS, ITS, TUB2) revealed that strains of the C . gloeosporioides complex associated with Proteaceae belong to at least six species. These include C . alienum , C . aotearoa , C . kahawae (subsp. ciggaro ), C . siamense , and two new taxa, C . proteae and C . grevilleae . The most economically important pathogen of Proteaceae seems to be C . alienum , and not C . gloeosporioides as previously reported. All taxa associated with Proteaceae are morphologically described on different media in culture, except strains of C . siamense , which proved to be sterile. Furthermore, C . populi is synonymised with C . aenigma .
