sp. nov., a New Species Causing Foliage Spot of Rubber Tree in China.

A new species of causing leaf spots on the rubber tree () in Yunnan, China, was isolated, examined, and illustrated. Morphologically, it belongs to the section of , which produces relatively large conidia and a simple or branched, filamentous long beak.
