Here, we report a new draft genome sequence of an isolate of the ascomycete Claviceps paspali that is responsible for ergot disease in grasses of the Paspalum genus. This new draft genome sequence will provide useful data for evaluating intraspecies and interspecies genome variation in C. paspali and other Claviceps genus members.
