Abstract
In order to identify Ramularia species on medicinal plants, specimens with leaf spot symptom from different localities in Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahmad Province were obtained and morphologically examined during spring-autumn 2012-13. Based on morphological characteristics of conidiophore and conidium, nine species of Ramularia were identified. Among these, R. veronicae and R. winteri are new records for mycobiota of Iran. Furthermore, this is the first record of Ramularia species including R. beccabungae, R. marrubii and R. variabilis on Veronicaanagallis-aquatica, Sideritis montana and Verbascum sinuatum in Iran respectively.
