name, used to describe the asexual form, is ''Seiridium'' (formerly ''Coryneum''). For instance, the name ''Seiridium cupressi'' can still be used for the anamorphic form of that species, but now that it is known that a sexual stage exists, the name ''Seiridium cupressi'' should be preferred for the species as a whole. On the other hand, no sexual stage of species '' Seiridium cardinale'' is known, so that is its only name. Other separate species of ''Seiridium'' have also found, so it is now classed as a genus in its own right as well.
