Pseudocercospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi. An anamorphic version of the genus Mycosphaerella, Pseudocercospora species are plant pathogens, including the causal agent of the so-called South American leaf blight of the rubber tree.[1] The widely distributed genus is concentrated predominantly in tropical regions.[2] Pseudocercospora was circumscribed by Italian-Argentinian botanist Carlos Luigi Spegazzini in 1910.[3]
Species[edit]
As of 5 September 2023[update], the GBIF lists up to 1,540 species,[4] while Species Fungorum lists about 1,517 species (out of 1,660 records).[5] Over 1000 species are accepted by Wijayawardene et al. 2020.[6]
