Abstract

Vizella philothecae sp.nov. is described from living leaves of Philotheca myoporoides (Rutaceae).It is distinguished from other Vizella species by the combination of ascospore size, obovoid shape and absence of a hyaline basal cell.It is known only from a single specimen collected in southeastern Australia.Key words-Vizellaceae, Entopeltis, Eriostemon An examination of Vizella Sacc.(Ascomycota: Vizellaceae) specimens in VPRI (Victorian Department of Primary Industries, Australia) revealed a previously undescribed species on Philotheca myoporoides (Rutaceae).It is known only from a single specimen.Material was mounted in lactic acid, warmed and examined using Nomarski interference contrast microscopy.
