| Abstract: | During a survey on the distribution of Heterobasidion root rot, the North American P group of H. annosum was recorded causing root rot on Aleppo pine, Pinus halepensis, in the gardens of a historical villa in Rome. This is the first report of Heterobasidion root rot on P. halepensis in its natural distribution area, the Mediterranean Basin. |
