Notes – Edenia was introduced to accommodate an endophytic hyphomycete isolated from leaves of Callicarpa acuminata in Mexico. González et al. (2007) provided a sequence of ITS region and treated the genus in Pleosporaceae without phylogenetic analysis support. Crous et al. (2009a) re-circumscribed the genus based on a collection from symptomatic leaves of Senna alata in Philippines and designated this collection as an epitype of Edenia gomezpompae. Crous et al. (2009a) reported a synanamorph of E. gomezpompae sporulating in culture as a pyronellea-like coelomycete and confirmed its phylogenetic affinity in Phaeosphaeriaceae. In this study, the sexual morph of E. gomezpompae is reported on decaying twigs from India for the first time.
Type species: Edenia gomezpompae M.C. González, Anaya, Glenn, Saucedo & Hanlin, Mycotaxon 101: 254 (2007).
