Abstract
A new species ofAppendicospora, A. honkongensis, occurring on fronds ofLivistona chinensis in Hong Kong is described and illustrated with interference contrast micrographs. It differs fromA. coryphae in having larger ascomata and ascospores, and a peridium of brown-walled cells. The differences betweenApiospora andAppendicospora are reexamined in the light of the cultural characteristics of the latter.
