Donald E. Gardner 1999 <p><i>Septoria hodgesii</i> sp. nov. is described. This fungus is a common leaf pathogen of <i>Myrica cerifera</i> in the southeastern U.S., where it usually has been identified as <i>S. myricae</i>. It also has been shown by artificial inoculation to be pathogenic on <i>M. faya</i>, an introduced forest weed in Hawai'i. Comparison of <i>S. hodgesii</i> with the types of <i>S. myricae</i>, from <i>M. cerifera</i> and <i>S. myricata</i>, from <i>M. gale</i>, showes it to be distinct from both species.</p> application/pdf en Mycotaxon, Ltd. <i>Septoria hodgesii</i> sp. nov.: A potential biocontrol agent for <i>Myrica faya</i> in Hawai‘i article
