The ability of Colletotrichum dematium to infect Asystasia nemorum and A. gangetica was investigated. Both host species were susceptible to the fungus, showing chlorosis, necrosis, premature defoliation and stunted growth. Wounding did not affect the degree of infection. This is the first description of the pathogenicity of C. dematium on Asystasia.
