Abstract

The Exobasidiá.les, Exobasidiaceae, are represented in Costa Rica by two genera: Exobasidium whicl1induces hypertrophies in leaves and flowers Of Ericaceae:Exobasidium vaccinii on species of V áccinium and P ernettya and E. gaylussaciae onMacleania and Sátyria; Exobasidiumflos·cavendishiae sp.nov., which causes hypertrophy on theflotá.l bractsof Cavendishia capitulara; Exobasidium ralamancense sp. nov. which causes leilfgá.lls in Vaccinium eonsanguineur/1. which resemble large, pendent "inilorescences" and E. rhododendri which infests cultivated ericads,e.g.;\zalea, Rhododendron.
