Abstract
Dichomera versiformis sp. nov. on living leaves of Eucalyptus nitens is des cribed and illustrated. The fungus is distinguished from other known specie s of the genus Dichomera by its conidia varying in shape from subglobose, o bovoid or obpyriform to elongated clavate or ellipsoid. The differences bet ween D. versiformis and similar species are discussed.
