Abstract
We describe a new fungal species, Rhytisma filamentosum, which causes tar spot disease on Salix integra in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Its most distinctive morphological features are asci and ascospores that are distinctly longer than those of other Rhytisma species on Salix. rDNA ITS and LSU sequence analyses also indicate that this fungus is sufficiently distinct from other Rhytisma species to justify new species status.
