<i>Yamadazymaakebiae</i> sp. nov. and <i>Y.hainanensis</i> sp. nov. (Debaryomycetaceae, Saccharomycetales) from leaf in China.

ABSTRACT: Members of the genus Yamadazyma are widely distributed and frequently found in plant materials. In an effort to investigate the species diversity within this genus, leaf samples collected from Guizhou and Hainan provinces in China were examined. This study led to the discovery of two previously undescribed taxa. Phenotypic examination, combined with phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated ITS and LSU D1/D2 sequences, confirmed their affiliation with Yamadazyma and supported their designation as novel species. One of the new species, Yamadazymaakebiae sp. nov., is phylogenetically closely related to Y.kanchanaburiensis, whereas Y.hainanensis sp. nov. represents a distinct lineage, clearly separated from other known Yamadazyma speci
