Abstract
Toxosporiopsis capitata n. gen., n. sp., collected on bark of Ceiba pentandra (L.) Gaertn., the Kapok tree, in Sierra Leone, is described and illustrated. The fungus is tentatively assigned to the Melanconiales and characterized by versicolored, 3-septate, dark-banded blastospores, each with an apical mucilaginous appendage, and filiform paraphyses which have a mucilaginous sheath. Cylindrical, aseptate, unbranched conidiophores produce a single apical conidium which terminates growth of the conidiophore. It is compared and contrasted with Santiella and related genera.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
