Description

Taxonomy

The fungus was formally described in 2015 by Siahaan and S. Takamatsu. The species epithet refers to Bali, the island from which the type specimen was collected. [2] The type host is Gliricidia sepium . The description of this species was based on anamorphs and chasmothecia are not yet known. [1]
