Phyllosticta is an important genus known to cause various leaf spots and fruit diseases worldwide on a large range of hosts. Two new endophytic species of Phyllosticta (P. dendrobii and P. illicii) are described and illustrated from Dendrobium nobile and Illicium verum in China. Phylogenetic analysis based on combined ITS, LSU, tef1-a, ACT and GPDH loci supported their separation from other species of Phyllosticta. Morphologically, P. dendrobii is most comparable with P. aplectri, while the large-sized pycnidia of P. dendrobii differentiate it from P. aplectri. Members of Phyllosticta are first reported from Dendrobium and Illicium.
