This book discusses members of the Catabotrydaceae, Phaeochoraceae and Phyllachoraceae families occurring in association with palms. Keys to the genera and species involved in the study are provided, and their taxonomy discussed. Illustrations of ascospores and fungi on host tissues are included.

A section describing excluded and dubious taxa is included, along with lists of references and newer taxa and combinations. An index of fungal names and a host list are provided.
