Scientific name

Meliola brassaiopsidis Hosag. [IndexFungorum. IndexFungorum]

Synonyms

None noted.

Vernacular names

None known.

Taxonomic position

Meliolaceae, Meliolales, Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota, Fungi.

Red List assessment

Data Deficient [IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria: version 3.1. Level: global].

Rationale

This evaluation is based on 5 records [breakdown: Cybernome (1 record); IndexFungorum (1 record)]. There were no records with dates. This species is recorded only from India. The fungus is known only in association with Brassaiopsis. This species appears to be an endemic of India, suggesting a limited distribution, and there is no information about any associated organisms. The very small number of records, all undated, makes 'Data Deficient' the only possible evaluation.

Reasons for change from previous assessment

None: not previously assessed.

Date of assessment

29 November 2025.

Name/s of the assessor/s
