Abstract :
In a survey of xylarialean fungi in the Northern part of Iran, some specimens that showed affinities to the rosellinoid Xylariaceae were collected. Morphological evidence, phylogenetic analyses of a combined ITS and ACT1 genes dataset confirmed the presence of Dematophora buxi on Buxus sempervirens in Iran for the first time. In addition, to our knowledge, this is the first report of this species in Asia. Dematophora buxi is illustrated, described, and discussed.
