Abstract

A new fungal isolate from the host plant Paspalum scrobiculatum Linn., is reported. It is characterized and designated as a separate species Phomopsis paspali (n. sp.), not only for the different morphological characters as compared with the commonly occurring Phomopsis species in India, but also in view of its distinctive feature of producing biologically active new metabolites, cytochalasans. In addition, the genus Phomopsis has not been reported on this plant anywhere in the world.
