Importance and distribution

Species of Stigmatodothis are epiphytic. They may have different ecological roles such as inhibit pathogen growth, and fix nitrogen, carbon or beneficial substances in the environment (Rosenblueth and Martinez-Romero 2006). Stigmatodothis comprises five species known on wide range of plants such as Casearia sp. (Salicaceae), Cleidion brevipetiolatum (Euphorbiaceae), Dendrobium sp. (Orchidaceae), Ficus nipponica (Moraceae) and Sasa borealis (Poaceae). It is reported from several countries such as Asia (China, Japan, Philippines) and South America (Brazil).
