Resumo
Dracaena braunii (lucky bamboo) is a plant of West Africa widely used as an ornamental. Recently individuals bearing anthracnose symptoms were found in Viçosa (state of Minas Gerais, Brazil). Morphology was typical of Colletotrichum dracaenophilum and sequence analyses indicated a high homology to the internal transcribed spacer region and Beta tubulin with the ex-type sequences of this species. This is the first record in Brazil.
