ABSTRACT:
This study was carried out to identify unknown Alternaria species or less known as plant pathogenic anamorphic

brassicae (on Eruca sativa), A. longipes (on Nicotiana glauca), A. tenuissima (on Ficus
carica), A. triticicola (on Hordeum vulgare L.) and Alternaria state of Pleospora infectoria (on Avena sativa)—were reported
