During a survey for the foliicolous fungi from diversified habitats of Bahraich authors came across an important road side plant of the locality, Alstonia scholaris (Linn) R. Br., Blackboard tree, Indian devil tree, milk wood pine, Saptaparni (Apocyanaceae). On critical study the living leaves were found to be infected with Cercospora, Since it has also been customary for plant pathologists and mycologists to describe as new any Cercospora found an a host for the first time (Ellis, 1971), this undescribed taxa has been described and illustrated as Cercospora alstoniae Mall and Kumar sp. nov.. The review of literatures reveals that there has been no record of this fungus on this host so for. Therefore, this host of the new species is a new record to Indian mycoflora from Bahraich (U.P.).
