Fusarium pseudoanthophilum is a species of fungus in the family Nectriaceae. It was first described by Kerry O'Donnell and Jürgen Kroschel in 1998 as Fusarium brevicatenulatum.[2][1][3] It was then listed as a synonym of F. brevicatenulatum by Amata and colleagues in 2010, who confirmed the species are the same through sexual compatibility tests.[1] As of April 2024[update], Index Fungorum does not recognize the proposed synonymy.[4]
The original 1998 publication included both F. brevicatenulatum and F. pseudoanthophilum. No information was found to locate a type specimen of the species. Research papers noted that F. pseudoanthophilum and F. brevicatenulatum were cultured and isolated from millet, noxious witchweed, and maize.[1][5][3]F. pseudoanthophilum was first isolated from Zea mays, maize, in Zimbabwe, Gambiza. F. brevicatenulatum was first isolated from noxious witchweed (Striga asiatica) in Madagascar.[5]
Fusarium in modern Latin comes from the Latin word fusus meaning spindle.[6]
For F. pseudoanthophilum, "pseudo" means false or imitation,[7] "antho" meaning flower,[8] "philum" as friend or loving.[9]
