Abstract

The seven reported smut fungi on Commelinaceae are revised. Of these, five are recognised and described:Ustilago aneilematis, U. burkillii, U. commelinae, U. nawaschinii andU. tinantiae. Entyloma commelinae is considered to be a doubtful species andU. rwandensis is a synonym ofU. aneilematis. A new species,Ustilago combensis (type onCommelina benghalensis) is proposed. A key to thesee species is presented.
