Abstract
Fungi associated with stem cankers on Diselma archevi in central Tasmania were investigated. Three Ascomycetes (Massavia sp., Trernatosphaevia sp. and Pseudophacidium sp.) were observed on stems with canker symptoms. The Pseudophacidium species was the most consistently isolated fungus from canker tissue and is proposed as P. diselnzae sp. nov
