Notes.

Phyllosticta capitalensis ( Hennings 1908) is known as an endophytic taxon and a minor plant pathogen. It has a worldwide distribution and has been recorded on 70 plant families ( Baayen et al. 2002; Okane et al. 2003; Motohashi et al. 2009; Wikee et al. 2013). The isolate recovered herein clusters with reasonable ML bootstrap support with other P. capitalensis isolates (Figure 5). Morphological examination also depicts similar morphs and hence it is identified as P. capitalensis .
