Abstract

DJ 2013-First record of Phoma selaginellicola on Selaginella kraussiana (African clubmoss): an invasive plant species in New Zealand. Plant Pathology & Quarantine 3(2), 140-143, doi 10.5943/ppq/3/2/3 Phoma selaginellicola was detected on wild invasive plants of Selaginella kraussiana (African club moss).
