Abstract

Caudella bipolaris sp. nov. (Microthyriaceae), found on leaves of the liana Bredemeyera floribunda Willd. (Polygalaceae) from the Brazilian cerrado, is described and illustrated. This is the fourth known Caudella species and the first reported on a member of the family Polygalaceae. Unique within the genus are the species' bipolar ascospore appendages.
