Abstract
A Phytophthora species was isolated from blackened leaves and stems of infected Cymbidium plants. Cultural characters did not fit descriptions of any known Phytophthora species. It was concluded that a new Phytophthora species, described here as Ph. multivesiculata is the causal agent. Isozyme data support this claim.
