Abstract
A review of current knowledge of Balansia epichloe (Weese) Diehl, incl uding nomenclature, host range, geographical distribution, and the nat ure of the relationship with its hosts, is made. A study of its growth habit on Eragrostis capillaris (L.) Nees and E. elliottii Watson in A labama is reported. Distribution of endophytic hyphae, particulars of hyphal egress and stromal development were investigated in the former. The reported occurrence on the latter represents a new host record.
