Pseudocercospora clerodendricola sp. nov. is described herein. The fungus was found causing leaf spots in The fungus was found causing leaf spots in Clerodendrum x speciosum (bleeding heart) and its pathogenicity was demonstrated. Inoculation with culture discs placed on healthy leaves resulted in typical leaf spots appearing 30 days after inoculation.
