Abstract

Field surveys during 2021–2023 found that the leaf smut fungus Ustilago sporoboli-indici was widespread on Sporobolus natalensis from northern New South Wales to northern Queensland. The geographic range of Ustilago sporoboli-indici has extended to 1500 km following the first Australian record of U. sporoboli-indici in south-east Queensland in 2017. Ustilago sporoboli-indici was not observed on other cohabitating species of Sporobolus.
