Abstract

A new pyrenomycetea ssociated with dying trees of Metrosideros collina (Forst.) Gray subsp. polymorpha (Gaud.) Rock in the drier aspect of the ohia forests of Hawaii is described. Although pathogenicity has not been proven, the evidence gathered so far suggests that under certain conditions the fungus could be pathogenic on ohia lehua.
