Botryosphaeria Ces. & De Not., Comm. Soc. crittog. Ital. 1(fasc. 4): 211 (1863)

Botryosphaeria was introduced with B. dothidea as the type species by Cesati & De Notaris (1863).

Botryosphaeria species have worldwide distribution on a wide range of hosts, including monocotyledonous, dicotyledonous, and gymnosperm hosts (Darge & Woldemariam 2021). Members of this genus include plant pathogens, endophytes and saprobes, and often cause die-back and canker diseases (Crous et al. 2006, Pavlic et al. 2007, Hattori et al. 2021). This genus is characterized by hyaline and aseptate ascospores that become pale brown and septate (Phillips et al. 2005, 2013). In the asexual morph, conidia are hyaline and aseptate and become pigmented with age. These conidia become one or two septate with age or before germination (Phillips et al. 2013). Currently, 30 species are accepted in this genus (Wu et al. 2021).
