Ramularia menthicola
Ramularia menthicola is a species of fungus in the family Mycosphaerellaceae. It is a plant pathogen that infects mint. It was formally described as a new species by the Italian mycologist Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1886. In his 1998 monograph on phytopathogenic Hyphomycetes, Uwe Braun suggests that Ramularia menthae should be considered a synonym to Ramularia lamii, but the name remains in use in the scientific literature, and is accepted as a valid species by Index Fungorum.
