Most reports, especially those published in regional Indian journals, are scattered in a number of papers that are often not accessible to smut taxonomists
Another new species was found in unidentified materials obtained from the IMI herbarium, infecting leaves of Heteropogon contortus (L.) Roem. & Schult., in Kashmir
Summary
In respect to smut fungi, India is one of the best-explored countries in the Asiatic mainland thanks to such giants of Indian taxonomy as B. A monograph study of smut fungi of India would be enthusiastically welcomed by the world’s scientific community. India is still a paradise for mycologists, and new smut fungi are described from the area nearly every year. Another new species was found in unidentified materials obtained from the IMI herbarium, infecting leaves of Heteropogon contortus (L.) Roem.
