They include asexual morphs, Ascomycota asexual holomorphs, or species with mycosphaerella-like sexual morphs. Most of them are leaf-spotting Cercospora s. lat. plant pathogens with special phytopathological relevance. In the first part of a new monographic work, Liliopsida cercosporoid hyphomycetes occurring on other fungi (fungicolous species), on ferns (pteridophytes) and hyphomycetes gymnosperms were treated. This second part deals with cercosporoid fungi on monocots (Liliopsida; Equisetopsida, Magnoliidae, Lilianae), which covers species occurring on host plants belonging to families arranged in alphabetical order from Acoraceae to Xyridaceae, excluding Poaceae (cereals and grasses) which requires a separate treatment. The species are described and illustrated in alphabetical order under the particular cercosporoid genera, supplemented by keys to the species concerned. A detailed introduction, a survey of currently recognised cercosporoid genera, a key to the genera concerned, and a discussion of taxonomically relevant characters were published in the first part of this series.Neopseudocercospora , an additional recently introduced cercosporoid genus, is briefly discussed.
