At present 52 Cylindrocladium spp. and 37 Calonectria spp. are recognised based on sexual compatibility, morphology and phylogenetic inference. The polyphasic approach of integrating Biological, Morphological and Phylogenetic Species Concepts has revolutionised the taxonomy of fungi. This review aims to present an overview of published research on the genera Calonectria and Cylindrocladium as they pertain to their taxonomic history. The nomenclature as well as future research necessary for this group of fungi are also briefly discussed. Key words: Calonectria, Cylindrocladium, species concepts, nomenclature, pathogenicity. INtroductIoN topic is not treated other than in the manner in which it applies to Calonectria. The genus Calonectria (Ca.) was erected in 1867 by De Notaris, based on Ca. daldiniana collected on leaves of Magnolia grandiflora (Magnoliaceae), in Daldini, Italy (Rossman 1979a). Rossman TaxoNomIc hIstory (1979a) later reduced Ca. daldiniana to synonymy under Ca. pyrochroa, and defined this nectrioid fungus as having an ascocarp Calonectria resides in the Nectriaceae, one of three families wall structure that is brightly coloured, changing to blood-red in in Hypocreales, an order that has been reviewed extensively 3 % KOH solution, warty to scaly and with a Cylindrocladium (Cy.) (Rogerson 1970, Rossman 1983, Rossman et al. 1996, 1999). The anamorph (Rossman 1993, Rossman et al. 1999). However, due Nectriaceae is circumscribed as having uniloculate ascomata that to the restricted morphological characteristics of the teleomorph are orange to purple and not immersed in well-developed stromata (Rossman 1979b, 1983), specimens can in many cases only be (Rossman et al. 1999). The family includes approximately 20 identified to species level if the anamorph is present (Schoch et al. genera of socio-economic importance and of these, Calonectria is 2000b, Crous 2002). most clearly distinguished from the others by its Cylindrocladium The anamorph genus Cylindrocladium, which is based on Cy. anamorphs and relevance as plant pathogens. scoparium, was first described by Morgan (1892) in the U.S.A., The first monograph of Cylindrocladium by Boedijn & Reitsma where it was found growing as saprobe on a pod of Gleditsia (1950), introduced seven Cylindrocladium species with one triacanthos. Although Morgan (1892) failed to mention the
