| Abstract: | Eighty-nine Phytophthora isolates from rubber throughout the world were examined critically. Five species were distinguished: P. palmivora morphological form I (MF1), P. meadii, P. botryosa, P. citricola, P. citrophthora and one currently designated P. palmivora (MF4). P. citrophthora is reported for the first time from rubber in the Ivory Coast and Indonesia, and mating types are given. |
