Description :
The genus Hypoxylon was proposed by Bulliard in 1791. It belongs to the family Xylariaceae and is stromatic, horizontally spreading, lignicolous and tropical in distribution, recognised by more than 200 species. However, it is a dynamic genus monographed by Miller (1961). He recognized 120 species and varieties. Ju and Rogers (1996) in “A revision of the genus Hypoxylon” features 127 species, out of which 112 belong to section Hypoxylon. Thind, K. S. and Dargan, J. S. (1980) and Alka Pande (2008) have made a good contribution in India. In the present work 19 species of Hypoxylon have been collected, studied and described.
