abstract = {In addition to two species of black truffles, Tuber formosanum Hu and Tuber furfuraceum Hu and & Wang, a new species of white truffle was found under Keteleeria fortunei var. cyclolepis (Flous) Silba in Xitou, Nantou County of Taiwan in June 2017. They are distinguished by the association with the endemic cCow-tail fFir that known only froofm Taiwan, small light brown ascocarp with dark brown gleba , with 1 to 4-spored asci and, ascospores mostly dark brown and ellipsoid ascospore with alveolate reticulum in a dark brown gleba. They resembled several Asian white truffles species like Tuber thailandicum Suwannarach, Kumla & Lumyong, Tuber T. panzhihuanense Deng & Wang, Tuber T. latisporum Chen & Liu and Tuber T. sinopuberulum Fan & Cao in Asia, however detailed morphological and phylogenetic analysis have revealed them as a new species and we describe here as Tuber xitouense, as the first white truffle species in Taiwan.. It is an important discovery in Taiwan and advance the understanding in the distribution and polygenticpolygenetic relationship in Tuber that are especially scarce in Asia. }
