Abstract

Phomopsis javanica, a new species on Asparagus from Java, is described and illustrated. It differs from P. asparagi by producing paraphyses among the conidiophores and conidiogenous cells, and is the first Phomopsis described with these structures. Phomopsis javanica was more virulent than P. asparagi when inoculated on asparagus foliage and stems. Phomopsis asparagicola is considered a synonym of P. asparagi. P. asparagi and P. javanica are compared in a series of photographs.
