Abstract
A rust fungus was described fromSchrebera swietenioides (Oleaceae) collected in India. The fungus possessed densely paraphysate uredinia and subepidermal, crustose telia with irregulary 5–7-layered sessile teliospores. These morphologies are characteristic ofPhakopsora, although noPhakopsora species had been reported from the family Oleaceae. The fungus was concluded to be a new species and a name,Phakopsora schreberae, was proposed for the new species.
