Aciculosporium sasicola sp. nov. on witches' broom of Sasa senanensis

Abstract

A new species of Aciculosporium, A. sasicola (anam. Albomyces sasicola ), is described and illustrated. The fungus differs from Aciculosporium take by its small asci and ascospores, though witches' broom and signs probably caused by the former on Sasa senanensis are similar to those caused by the latter on bamboos.
