Technical Abstract: Very few comprehensive accounts exist of the large and complex genus Septoria or any coelomycete, for that matter, yet these fungi include many important plant pathogens. About 2,000 species have been described in Septoria based primarily on vascular plant hosts. This book starts with a description, drawings, and photographs of the type species, Septoria cytisi iDesm., based on an examination of the type specimen. This description provides a reliable starting point for circumscribing the genus including illustrations of the sympodial conidiogenous cells. The following descriptions of the 83 species of Septoria known in India are each thoroughly documented with descriptions, drawings, and photographs as well as accurate citations, literature, specimens examined and limited discussion. A clear distinction is made between those descriptions that are based on the study of type material versus those for which only non-type specimens from India were examined.
