In the article are presented species composition of pathogenic micromycetes from the genus Colletotrichum Corda on the tropical plants-introducents to the greenhouse of the Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan. In the course of researche were identified 8 pathogenic anamorphic species (Colletotrichum crassipes (Speg.) Arx, C. gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz.&Sacc., C.destructivum O’Gara, C. cliviae Yan L. Yang, C. musae (Berk.&M.A. Curtis) Arx, C. orchidearum Allesch., C. roseolum Henn., C. orthianum Kostlan) from the genus Colletotrichum, belonging to the Ascomycota division, the Sordariomycetes class, the Hypocreomycetidae subclass, the Glomerellales order, and the Glomerellaceae family. It was found 25 taxa of identified species of phytopathogens, which growth and development on the research plants. It was noted that the detected pathogenic micromycetes from the genus Colletotrichum represent the causative agents of the anthracnose disease on the vegetative and generative organs of tropical plants in the greenhouses. Described the morphology and biology features of micromycetes.
