Ramularia is a genus of ascomycete fungi. Its species, which are anamorphs of the genus Mycosphaerella, are plant pathogens.[1] Economically important host species include Narcissus, sugar beet, and barley.[2]
Ramularia species are hyphomycetes with simple morphology; other genera are frequently mistaken for Ramularia. As of 2024[update], almost 800 species are recognised in the genus Ramularia.[3]
