Abstract
Isozyme analysis has been used to confirm that a Cryphonectria isolated from root cankers of Eucalyptus rnarginata in Western Australia is C. cubensis, and that an Endothiella, which is common on eucalypts in southwestern Australia, and which was previously named as Endothia havanensis, is E. gyrosa.
