Pseudofusicoccum adansoniae (Botryosphaeriaceae), representing a new generic record for India, is described and illustrated. The species, isolated as an endophyte from healthy leaf midrib and fruit of Jatropha podagrica, is characterized by large conidiomata and hyaline ellipsoid conidia with round apices. Its teleomorph is unknown. Comparison of the internal transcribed spacer 1 and 2 loci and 5.8S rDNA sequences showed 100% sequence similarity with that of CBS 122055, the ex-type strain of P. adansoniae.
