Abstract
Plants so far reported to be infeeted by the endophytie alga Cephaleuros in India are listed. Infection occurs as dark-reddish or brown-greenish spots on the dorsal surface of leaves. The alga undergoes considerable varia tion under different conditions on the same host. Severe attacks of the alga occurred during the rainy season. The morphological variation of the alga is discussed.References
