Known distribution: Australia, Brazil, China, Japan, Korea, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Thailand, USA, Vietnam (Yang et al. 2009, Weir et al. 2012, Jayawardena et al. 2016, Shivas et al. 2016.

Material examined: Thailand, Chiang Rai, on dead leaves of Rosa sp. (Rosaceae), 19 May 2018, Ruvishika S. Jayawardena RV1 (MFLU 18–1839, new host record), living culture MFLUCC 18–1162.

GenBank Accession No: ITS: MN788676, GAPDH: MN995328, CHS: MN995336, ACT: MN995334, TUB: MN995329

 

Notes: Colletotrichum siamense has a wide host range and a distribution (Jayawardena et al. 2016). A strain in this study clustered with the type species of C. siamense. This is the first record of C. siamense as a saprotroph of Rosa sp. in Thailand.
