Genus  Botrytis  contains approximately 35 species, many of which are economically-important and globally-distributed plant pathogens which collectively infect over 1,400 plant species. Recent efforts to genetically characterize genus  Botrytis  have revealed new species on diverse host crops around the world. In this study, surveys and subsequent genetic analysis of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosate dehydrogenase ( G3PDH ), heat-shock protein 60 ( HSP60 ), DNA-dependent RNA polymerase subunit II ( RPB2 ), and necrosis and ethylene-inducing proteins 1 and 2 ( NEP1  and  NEP2 ) genes indicated that  Botrytis  isolates collected from peony fields in the United States contained more species diversity than ever before reported on a single host, including up to 10 potentially novel species. Together, up to 16 different phylogenetic species were found in association with peonies in the Pacific Northwest, which is over a third of the total number of species that are currently named. Furthermore, species were found on peonies in Alaska that have been described on other host plants in different parts of the world, indicating a wider geographic and host distribution than previously thought. Lastly, some isolates found on peony share sequence similarity with unnamed species found living as endophytes in weedy hosts, suggesting that the isolates found on peony have flexible lifestyles as recently discovered in the genus. Selected pathogenicity, growth, and morphological characteristics of the putatively new  Botrytis  species were also assessed to provide a basis for future formal description of the isolates as new species.
