Endophytic fungi are a well-known fascinating host-associated fungal group that can enhance plant growth and fitness by producing various bioactive secondary metabolites. They an excellent source of industrial enzymes for potential metabolite synthesis, which is useful in green agriculture, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals. Itea valuable genus since it naturally contains rare sugar; however, endophytic associated this host have not yet been documented. In the present study, 11 strains were isolated primarily identified as pestalotioid taxa based on morphological characteristics exhibited vitro. Eleven Pestalotiopsis-like from healthy leaves, stems, roots japonica I. riparia Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. Species delimitation was morphology, multiloci phylogeny concatenated ITS, tub2, tef1-α sequence data, nucleotide polymorphism analyses. Neopestalotiopsis iteae Pseudopestalotiopsis proposed new species riparia, respectively. chrysea, N. haikouensis, Pestalotiopsis jinchanghensis described records riparia. Owing to conspecific relationship identically pairwise comparison sufficient gene regions, several synonymized including cercidicola terricola umbrinospora zhaoqingensis P. jinchanghensis. The updated phylogenetic trees, comparisons, descriptions herein provided discussed taxonomic placements these records. This study first investigate endophytes Thailand, reveals intra- interspecific relationships species, need be further reevaluated because ambiguous taxa.
