Published 2006-08-21

Abstract

This paper gives an account of three new species. Asterina rhodomyrti sp. nov. has been observed for the first time to occur on this endemic host plant Rhodomyrtus tomentosa; Asterina tylophorae-indicae sp. nov. differs from A. peraffinis in having unicellular appressoria in contrast to bicellular ones; Asterostomella ceropegiae sp. nov. differs from Asterina secamonicola in having gibbous nature of the basal cells of the appressoria. Asterina leptalea and Heteroconium solaninum are new records to India.
