Abstract
In this study, three Neopestalotiopsis taxa were identified, associated with leaves of Zingiber officinale , Elaeagnus pungens and Salacca zalacca . Based on morphology and multi–gene analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), beta-tubulin (TUB2) and translation elongation factor 1–alpha (TEF1), the five strains of Neopestalotiopsis represent two novel and one known species. They are introduced with descriptions, illustrations and notes herein.
