CERCOSPORA SPECIES AND SIMILAR FUNGI OF SOUTH-AFRICA

This contribution is the second of a series aimed at revising South African records of cercosporoid fungi. The present study describes six species, proposes one new combination, and reports one new record for South Africa. Two species of Ramularia, R grewiae-occidentalis and R. zinniae are described from Grewia occidentalis and Zinnia peruviana respectively. Mycovellosiella dichondrae is described from Dichondra repens, and M. berkheyae-maritimae from Berkheya maritima, while Fulvia berkheyae is transferred to Mycovellosiella. Pseudocercospora diospyri-lycloides and Paracercospora scolopiae are described from Diospyros lycioides and Scolopia zeyheri respectively, and Cercosporella hypoestis noted as a new record on Hypoestes forskalii.
