Hu, Kexing & Shunxing Guo. A new species of Hansfordia, an endophyte from Anoectochilus roxburghii. Mycotaxon 102: 253-256. 2007.

ABSTRACT: A new species, Hansfordia pallens, is described, illustrated and compared with similar Hansfordia species. It was isolated from living leaves of Anoectochilus roxburghii in Guangxi Province, China. This endophyte is typical of Hansfordia in morphology but clearly differs from other species in this genus based on the characters of conidiophores and conidia.
