Abstract
A brief review of known host-pathogen relationships within the Balansi eae is provided for purposes of comparison. The precise nature of the association between Balansia aristidae (Atk.) Diehl and its host, Aris tida purpurascens Poir, is newly reported. The endophytic, systemic ha bit and the distribution of its hyphae in host tissue preceding and fo llowing egress to form Ephelis macroconidial and Balansis teleomorph s tromata were determined by histological techniques. Unlike the conditi on reported in some associations, the host is notably stunted in this relationship.
