Ramularia menthicola

Ramularia menthicola is a species of fungus in the family Mycosphaerellaceae.^[2] It is a plant pathogen that infects mint. It was formally described as a new species by the Italian mycologist Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1886.^[3] In his 1998 monograph on phytopathogenic Hyphomycetes, Uwe Braun suggests that Ramularia menthae should be considered a synonym to Ramularia lamii,^[4] but the name remains in use in the scientific literature, and is accepted as a valid species by Index Fungorum.^[1]
