  Main differences were the prevalence of paragynous instead of amphigynous antheridia, the formation of chlamydospores and a maximum temperature for growth of 35°C. For the remaining two taxa, preliminary morphological examination and ITS sequence analysis showed they could not be assigned to any formally described species or informally designated taxon of Phytophthora, hence detailed phylogenetic and taxonomic analyses were carried out.
