            <p>Index Fungorum number: IF557082; Facesoffungi number: FoF07392</p>
            <p>Etymology—Species epithet derived from the host genus where fungus collected.</p>
            <p> Holotype — MFLU 20–0056</p>
            <p> Saprobic on leaves of  Cordyline fruticosa . Sexual morph Undetermined. Asexual morph Coelomyceteous. Conidiomata 120–150 × 110–140 μm (x̅ = 135 × 125 μm, n = 20), scattered on upper surface of leaves mostly along the margin, pycnidial, solitary to aggregated, scattered, superficial to slightly immersed on upper surface of leaves, small, globose, black, shiny, coriaceous, opening by an ostiole and exuding white masses of conidia. Peridium 12.4–13.4 μm (x̅ = 12.9 μm, n = 20), composed of few layers of thick-walled, dark brown cells of textura angularis. Conidiophores 6.7–13 × 1.9–2.4 μm (x̅ = 11.2 × 2 μm, n = 50), cylindrical, hyaline, smooth, thick-walled, branched up to 2 times, arising from the inner wall of the pycnidium. Conidiogenous cells 5.6–8.5 × 1.4–2.4 μm (x̅ = 6.58 × 1.95 μm, n = 50), holoblastic with sympodial proliferation, ampuliform, lageniform to cylindrical, hyaline, smooth, arranged in a palisade layer. Conidia 2.3–3.5 × 1–1.5 μm (x̅ = 3.3 × 1.3 μm, n = 50), allantoid to straight cylindrical, hyaline, thinwalled, smooth, 1-celled. </p>
            <p>Culture characteristics:—Colony on PDA at 16 °C reaching 3 cm diam., after 2 weeks, white, circular, smooth, entire margin, with sparse, short to woolly aerial mycelium at the center, white from the upper, off-white from reverse; conidiomata not formed on culture.</p>
            <p> Material examined:— CHINA, Guangdong, Shenzhen, Nanshan, Nanhai Avenue, Shenzhen University, saprobic on leaves of  Cordyline fruticosa (L.) A.Chev. (  Asparagaceae ) without any disease symptoms, 28 August 2018, I. C. Senanayake, SI 4, (MFLU 20–0056; holotype), ex-holotype culture KUMCC 20–0033. </p>
            <p> Habitat &amp; host range:—Tropical, terrestrial,  Cordyline fruticosa (this study) </p>
            <p>Mode of life:—Saprobic (this study)</p>
            <p>Distribution:— China (this study)</p>
            <p> Notes:—There are no sequence data for  Leptosillia fusariospora and  L. pinicola and the asexual morph of these two species are so far undetermined. Therefore it is hard to determine that our strain is the asexual morph of  Leptosillia fusariospora or  L. pinicola . However, based on the ecological data, we conclude that our strain could not be the  Leptosillia fusariospora or  L. pinicola .  Leptosillia cordylinea is the first species in this genus recorded in Asia, while others are reported from Europe and North America. In addition,  Leptosillia cordylinea is the only epifoliar species while others are collected from living or dead branches of woody trees. The host  Cordyline fruticosa is native to China, Taiwan, Myanmar, Indonesia, New Zealand, eastern and northern Australia (Phoulivong et al. 2010). </p>
            <p> Morphological comparison between  Leptosillia species are listed in TABLE 3. Further we provided a phylogenymorphology-ecological character mapping of  Leptosillia species (FIGURE 3). According to the phylogenetic analysis of our study (FIGURE 1),  Leptosillia species group into three subclades (A-C) which is well-supported by morphological and ecological data (FIGURE 3). Clade A represented by  Leptosillia macrospora ,  L. slaptonensis and  L. wienkampii , comprises endophytic fungi reported in Europe on host plant of  Fabaceae ,  Fagaceae ,  Rosaceae ,  Salicaceae , and  Ulmaceae . Species in this clade have pyriform, superficial to semi-immersed ascomata with falcate to lunate ascospores. Clade B representing by  Leptosillia acerina and  L. muelleri comprises endophytic species reported in Europe on living or dead branches of  Acer species and are morphologically similar in having lunate to falcate, aseptate ascospores arranged in bi or triseriately. Clade C is represented by our new species  Leptosillia cordylinea with  L. pistaciae . Even though ecologically they are different, morphologically and phylogenetically these two species share similarities such as allantoid conidia with holoblastic conidiogenesis and sympodial proliferation in the asexual morph. However as discussed above, there are substantial DNA differences that justify that they are different species. </p>
