Abstract A newly described species of Pseudocercospora from Ficus microcarpa differs from other Pseudocercospora species on Ficus spp. (Moraceae) by small fascicles of branched conidiophores hidden in the suprastomatal chamber and by the absence of leaf spots, of stromata and of external hyphae. Newly recorded fungi on other ornamental plants in Taiwan are Cercospora apii s. lat. (C. pistiae) on Pistia stratiotes, C. flagellaris, Passalora bougainvilleae, Pseudocercospora pancratii, Ps. violamaculans, and Ps. wedeliae.
