Abstract

Carlosrosaea is a genus of plant-associated yeasts within the family Trimorphomycetaceae of the order Tremellales. Currently, eight species have been described and accepted as members of the genus Carlosrosaea . In this study, six Carlosrosaea strains were isolated from the surface of leaves of the genera Camellia , Distylium , Glechoma , and Glochidion , collected in Fujian, Guizhou, Hainan, and Henan provinces. Based on phylogenetic analyses and phenotypic characterization, these strains were identified as three new Carlosrosaea species: C. camelliae sp. nov. (holotype CICC 33566 T ), C. glechomae sp. nov. (holotype CICC 33632 T ), and C. wuzhiensis sp. nov. (holotype GDMCC 2.526 T ). Descriptions, illustrations, and phylogenetic data of these new taxa are provided. This study enhances knowledge of Carlosrosaea species diversity in China and provides a foundation for future taxonomic and ecological research.
