ABSTRACTCultures, identified initially asFusarium anthophilum, were obtained from soil and soil debris from the Markham Valley, Papua New Guinea; Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia; and Hluhluwe, Natal, Republic of South Africa. Subsequently, these cultures all produced chlamydospores on carnation leaf agar which excludes them from bothF. anthophilumandFusariumsectionLiseola.Other characteristics are presented to distinguish the new species,F. beomiforme, from two other recently described species of similar uncertain sectional affinity.
