✦ Synopsis

Three new fungi are described from the halophyte, Juncus roemerianus, an endemic species in saltmarshes of the United States east coast. Pseudohalonectria halophila sp. nov. is an obligate marine fungus, whereas Phaeosphaeria anchiala sp. nov. is facultative, and Kolletes undulatus gen. et sp. nov. a terrestrial, but halotolerant hyphomycete. The taxonomic classification of P. anchiala in Phaeosphaeria is supported by phylogenetic analysis of the SSU and ITS region of the rDNA.
