Among ascomycetous yeasts that were isolated from several nature reserve areas in China, three anamorphic strains isolated from soil (QL 5-5^T) and fruit (QL 21-2^T and SN 15-1^T) were revealed, by conventional characterization and molecular phylogenetic analysis based on internal transcribed spacer and large subunit (26S) rRNA gene D1/D2 region sequencing, to represent three novel species in the genus Candida. Candida qinlingensis sp. nov. (type strain, QL 5-5^T=AS 2.2524^T=CBS 9768^T) was related closely to a teleomorphic species, Williopsis pratensis. The close relatives of Candida diospyri sp. nov. (type strain, QL 21-2^T=AS 2.2525^T=CBS 9769^T) are Candida friedrichii and Candida membranifaciens. Candida asparagi sp. nov. (type strain, SN 15-1^T=AS 2.2526^T=CBS 9770^T) forms a clade with Candida fructus.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 26S rRNA gene D1/D2 and ITS region sequences determined in this study are AY450916–AY450921 and AY452739–AY452742, respectively.
