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 />
