Abstract

Four species of Linocarpon on Pandanus are described and illustrated. L. spathulatum and L. sulcatum spp. nov. have ascospores with grooved appendages and ascomata with eccentric ostioles. L. fasciatum sp. nov. is similar to L. pandanicola, but its ascospores lack appendages and the ascomata are smaller. A collection of L. elaeidis, not previously reported from Mauritius, has ascomata with distinct black papillate necks, in contrast to the type material which lacks these structures.
