DA0F8E387253660754A9DBEAFB16FC97.taxon	description	Descriptions: — Colony on PDA, light yellow in the center, white at the edge, hyphae flocculent, sulfur yellow to pure yellow in reverse, 39 - 47 mm in diam. after 7 days at 25 ° C in darkness (Fig. 2 b). Conidiophores smooth, straight or curved, 42 - 130 × 4 - 6 μm in size, with 2 - 9 transverse septa. Conidiogenous cells clavate, slightly enlarged at apex, 6 - 19 × 4 - 6 μm, sometimes branched to produce another conidium (Fig. 2 e-f). Conidia usually solitary or in a chain with two units (Fig. 2 c-d). On V 8 A, beakless conidia long elliptical body, with a size range of 46 - 67 × 13 - 17 μm, 5 - 8 transverse septa and 1 - 2 longitudinal septa; short blunted beak (16 - 94 × 2 - 4 μm) conidia obclavate and narrow-to broad-ellipsoid, with a size range of 45 - 76 × 12 - 20 μm, 5 - 8 transverse septa and 1 - 2 longitudinal septa; long filiform beak (100 - 150 × 2 - 3 μm) conidia with, a size range of 53 - 63 × 15 - 18 μm, 6 - 8 transverse septa and 1 - 3 longitudinal septa (Fig. 2 j-l). On PCA, beakless conidia, 43 - 94 × 15 - 31 μm in size, with 4 - 8 transverse septa and 0 - 4 longitudinal septa; short blunted beak (13 - 96 × 2 - 4 μm) conidia, 50 - 75 × 14 - 32 μm in size, with 5 - 8 transverse septa and 0 - 5 longitudinal septa; long filiform beak (114 - 324 × 2 - 4 μm) conidia, 49 - 83 × 15 - 30 μm in size, with 5 - 9 transverse septa and 1 - 5 longitudinal septa (Fig. 2 g-i).	en	Huang, Cheng Xin, Liu, Feng Yin, Gou, Ya Nan, Deng, Jian Xin, Li, Mei Jia (2022): Alternaria vignae sp. nov.

DA0F8E387253660754A9DBEAFB16FC97.taxon	discussion	Notes: — Morphologically, it is quite similar to A. helianthiinficiens based on conidial morphology (Table 2). The new species produces shorter filiform beak than A. helianthiinficiens on V 8 A. Except that, there are few conidial evidences to indicate that it is a new species. However, Alternaria vignae can be readily separated with A. helianthiinficiens based on the multigene sequence analyses of ITS, GAPDH, RPB 2 and TEF 1.	en	Huang, Cheng Xin, Liu, Feng Yin, Gou, Ya Nan, Deng, Jian Xin, Li, Mei Jia (2022): Alternaria vignae sp. nov.
