Abstract
The pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum isolated from diseased Delonix regia (Flamboyante), was investigated. Seedlings of flamboyante inocu lated with the pathogen had poor root development, leaf chlorosis and stunted growth. Infection of seedlings of D. regia was successful whet her or not the collars of the seedlings were wounded prior to inoculat ion. Re-isolation of F. oxysporum was only possible on the inoculated seedlings of the test tree seedlings.
