Abstract:
A new species of endophytic dematiaceous hyphomycete, Kumbhamaya jalapriya, producing falcate to vermiform, non-septate, colourless phialoconidia, was isolated from sudmerged live roots of Hoppea ponga (Denst) Mabb. (F.Dipterocarpaceae) from a perennial stream in the forests of Western Ghats in southern India.
