Allium wallichii is a perennial herbaceous plant with high genetic diversity, which is mainly distributed in the southwest of Yunnan. During our investigation of the diversity of seed endophytic fungi of A. wallichii, 157 strains of fungi were isolated; among them, 50 strains were identified as Cladosporium spp. based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. Then, two additional loci, tef1-α and act, were sequenced for all strains of Cladosporium. Based on combined ITS, tef1-α and act sequence analyses, these strains were further identified to species level, including 15 known species and a new, so far undescribed, species. Based on combined morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses, one new species is introduced under the name Cladosporium allii-wallichii. Detailed descriptions, illustrations and phylogenetic analyses of the new species are provided in this study.
