Abstract

A collection of Cercosporoid fungi occurring in leaf spots from Northern Thailand during 2013–2014 is described and illustrated. These fungi include three new species, Cercospora posoneae, Pseudocercospora combretina and Pseudocercospora glycinicola. Eleven species are new records of host plants for Thailand. Six species of Cercospora morphologically similar to Cercospora apii sensu lato were also found in this study.
