Abstract
A new species of Coelomycete, leptomelanconium abietis, is described and il lustrated from chlorotic and necrotic needles of Abies balsamea. This fungu s is typical of the genus in morphology and ecology, but clearly different from other known species in Leptomelanconium by host, distinct size of coni diomata, and shape and size of conidia. Its taxonomic placement and relatio n to other species in this genus and the genus Gloeocoryneum are given.
