Abstract
Phyllachora stahlii (Chardon) Stevenson, is reported for the first time as parasitie on Ficus goldmanii Standl. in Costa Rica. Wide field observations seem to confirm the species-specific relationship between parasite and host. The macroscopic effects of the fungus on the leaves of the host and the microscopic sexual stages (perithecia) are described and illustrated.References
