Abstract
The rust Phakopsora arthuriana was collected on Jatropha curcas L., commonly called Physic Nut or Barbados Nut, from northern Thailand. The identification was based on the morphology of uredinial stage. This is the first report of this rust fungus in Thailand where J. curcas L is often cultivated as a biofuel crop.
