Meloderma desmazieresii (Duby) Darker 1967

Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Ascomata hysterothecial, in rows, often confluent, subepidermal, shining black, 0.3–0.7 × 0.1–0.15 mm, opening by a longitudinal slit; on needles. Asci cylindrical, 110–130 × 12–15 μm. Ascospores elliptic-fusiform, 0-septate, 25–30 × 4 μm, hyaline.
Distribution: Wanganui.; 1st Record: Gadgil & Dick (2000a).
Significance: Funk (1985) reported that this fungus causes a rare needle-blight of Pinus monticola in Canada. It is regarded as a weak parasite of Pinus spp. in Europe (Smith et al. 1988). In China, however, it has been shown to be a serious pathogen of P. massoniana (Hu 1983). In New Zealand, it has been found fruiting on the dead tips of needles and is regarded as a minor pathogen of P. strobus.; Host(s): Pinus strobus.
