Species of Encephalartos, commonly known as bread trees, bread palms or cycads are native to Africa; the genus encompasses more than 60 species and represents an important component of the indigenous African flora. Recently, a leaf blight disease was noted on several E. altensteinii plants growing at the foot of Table Mountain in the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens of South Africa. Preliminary isolations from dead and dying leaves of E. alten-steinii, E. lebomboensis and E. princeps, collected from South Africa, revealed the presence of several novel microfungi on this host. Novelties include Phaeomoniella capensis, Saccharata kirstenboschensis, Teratosphaeria altensteinii and T. encephalarti. New host records of species previously only known to occur on Proteaceae include Cladophialophora proteae and Catenulostroma microsporum, as well as a hyperparasite, Dactylaria leptosphaeriicola, occurring on ascomata of T. encephalarti.
恩格尔哈特南洋杉属的物种，通常被称为面包树、面包棕榈或苏铁，原产于非洲；该属包含 60 多个物种，是非洲本土植物群的重要组成部分。最近，在南非克留格尔国家植物园的桌山脚下生长的几棵南洋杉属 Altensteinii 植物上注意到叶枯病。从南非采集的南洋杉属 Altensteinii、Lebomboensis 和 Princeps 已死亡和垂死的叶子进行初步分离，揭示了该宿主存在几种新型真菌。新物种包括 Capensis、Kirstenboschensis、Altensteinii 和 Encephalarti。以前仅在石蒜科植物上发现的物种的新宿主记录包括 Cladophialophora proteae 和 Catenulostroma microsporum，以及一种在 T. encephalarti 子囊壳上发生的超寄生菌 Dactylaria leptosphaeriicola。
