Abstract

Reddish-orange spots with chlorotic halos were detected in leaves of guanandi (Calophyllum brasiliensis) in Botucatu region, Brazil. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was identified as the causal agent. This is the first report of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causing anthracnose in Brazilian guanandi plants.
