Based on the alternate and opposite<br />
appressoria, Meliola <strong><strong>kannur</strong>ensis</strong> is similar to M.<br />
chlorophorae Hansf. reported on Chlorophora<br />
excelsa <strong>from</strong> Uganda but differs <strong>from</strong> it having both<br />
acute, obtuse and dentate and longer mycelial setae<br />
(Hansford 1961).<br />
