Abstract: A wide range of fungi was recorded from leaves and petioles of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.), with and without symptoms of disease, in Western Australia. Leptosphaerulina trifolii (Rostrup) Petrak and Phoma medicaginis Malb. & Roum. were the two most frequently isolated fungi. Ascochyta caulicola Lamb., Colletotrichum truncatum (Schw.) Andus & Moore, Curvularia trifolii (Kauffm.) Boedijn., Fusarium avenaceum (FR.) Sacc, Myrothecium verrucaria (Fr.) Sacc, Phoma medicaginis, and Stemphylium globuliferum (Vestergr.) Simmons were new records on subterranean clover foliage in Western Australia. Phoma medicaginis was demonstrated to be pathogenic and this is the first record as a pathogen on subterranean clover foliage in Western Australia, M. verrucaria and F. avenaceum caused leaf spotting or more extensive lesions as a consequence of undetermined phytotoxic products produced on agar plate cultures.
