Abstract: The new epiphyllous species Radula camerunensis was discovered in the high rainfall area of the lowlands of SW Cameroon, as host of the new parasitic ascomycete Epibryon platycarpum Döbbeler et T. Franke. As all the investigated species of the former section Epiphyllae proved to be monophyletic, belonging to the same subclade of subgenus Metaradula in a recent molecular investigation, the status of Radula sect. Epiphyllae is tenable. The new species differs from all other members of sect. Epiphyllae by its long stalked discoid gemmae.
Keywords: Bryoparasitic fungi, Cameroon, discoid gemmae, Radula, sect. Epiphyllae
