Book excerpt: The work described in this thesis began as a survey of foliar pathogens of Eucalyptus globulus in plantations and of other Eucalyptus species in nearby native forests in the Green Triangle region of SW Victoria and SE South Australia. Later the study extended to foliar pathogens collected more widely in south-eastern, mainland Australia. The major emphasis of this study was on the taxonomy and identification of these pathogens. Almost 40 species of foliar fungi belonging to sixteen genera were described in detail using photography of disease symptoms and morphology, classical taxonomic methods, and in some cases, cultural characteristics and molecular analyses.
