Abstract
The vascular wilt pathogen currently causing severe die-back and mortality of takamaka in the Seychelles has morphological and physiological character s inconsistent with its placement in Verticillium. Features of the pathogen warrant its transfer to Leptographium and Leptographium calophylli comb. n ov, is proposed. L. calophylli is described in detail based on new collecti ons.
