Pseudocercospora species on Piperaceae from Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Mycological Progress 7 (4), 249-252
Abstract: Three Pseudocercospora species were found associated with leaf spots on five different members of the family Piperaceae in a stretch of Atlantic rain forest in the municipality of Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Pseudocercospora piperis is newly recorded on Piper crassinervium and Piper mollicomum. It was also found in association with Pothomorphe umbellata, which is already known to be a host. Pseudocercospora piperis-arborei sp. nov. and Pseudocercospora piperis-gigantifolii sp. nov. were recorded on Piper arboreum and Piper gigantifolium, respectively. These three species are fully described and illustrated in the present work.
