Abstract
A rust fungus occurring on bamboo leaves from Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, North India is described and illustrated. A critical morphological and microscopic examination revealed it to be Kweilingia divina. It is the synonym of Dasturella divina, the type species for the fungal genus Dasturella, named in 1943 from infected leaf samples of bamboo (Bambusa sp.). After conducting a literature survey it was found that this fungus is the first to be reported from North Western Himalayas. A detailed taxonomic description of this fungus along with its distribution is provided.
