Abstract

The vascular wilt pathogen currently causing severe die-back and mortality of takamaka in the Seychelles has morphological and physiological characters inconsistent with its placement in Verticillium. Features of the pathogen warrant its transfer to Leptographium and Leptographium calophylli comb. nov. is proposed. L. calophylli is described in detail based on new collections.
