During a systematic survey of parasitic fungi at Faizabad, a new leaf and stem spots of Cucurbita maxima Duscn. caused by Periconia byssoides Pers. ex Merat was observed. The infection starts in August to September. The fungus has been recorded on various living leaves and different living and nonliving substrates. So far, this fungus has not been recorded on Cucurbita maxima and hence C. maxima is being described as a new host record of Periconia byssoides Pers. ex Merat for India.The fungus has been deposited in the CMI, Kew, England, as IMI 210043 and in the herbarium of Botany Department, K.S.S. P.G. College, Faizabad as RSK-278. (PDF at Slideshare.net)
