MINTER, D.W.; PEREDO, H.L.  and  WATSON, Anna T.. Acrospermum chilense sp. nov. from Chile and the Acrospermales ord. nov. Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. [online]. 2007, vol.42, n.1-2, pp.107-112. ISSN 1851-2372.

Acrospermum chilense sp. nov. on living stems of Chusquea quila from southern Chile is described, illustrated and discussed. The asci and ascospores, more than 1000 µ m long, may be the longest ever found in the ascomycetes. The ordinal position of the family Acrospermaceae is discussed, and the order Acrospermales ord. nov. is erected to accommodate it.

Keywords : Acrospermaceae; Acrospermales; Ascospores; Chusquea; Chile.
