Chaetomium putrefactus has been described as a new species. It has smaller and sparser hairs and ellipto-fusoid ascospores. We have isolated and described several species of Chaetomium from living and dead leaves of various plants. One species isolated from decaying leaves of Corchorus olitorius appeared to be interesting and new. It is characterized by smaller and fewer hairs and ellipso-fusoid ascospores
