Juncus roemerianus is an important component of salt marshes of the United
States east coast and the Gulf of Mexico. This plant supports a large biodi
versity of decomposers, mostly ascomycetes and coelomycetes, unknown even a
few years ago. Koorchaloma galateae sp. nov. is an obligate marine species
from the base of culms; Pestalotiopsis juncestris sp. nov. is a facultativ
e marine species and grows in the middle of culms and on involucral leaves;
Tetrancriella papillata anam.-gen. et sp. nov. can be classified as a terr
estrial but halotolerant species, occurring in the middle and upper part of
leaves and on involucral leaves. All three species are known so far only f
rom North Carolina.
