abstract = {Numerous strains of a novel yeast were isolated in Louisiana, USA from the leaves of several palustrine plants, most frequently from the invasive aquatic ferns Salvinia minima and S. molesta. This fungus produced fast-growing colonies that were grayish violet to dark blue in culture and rapidly reproduced via production of copious ballistoconidia. Phylogenetic analyses of the large and small subunits and internal transcribed spacer regions of the nuclear rDNA cistron, translation elongation factor 1-α and β-tubulin sequences indicate this fungus is a member of Ustilaginomycetes, but holds an isolated position, distinct from the two currently recognized orders, Ustilaginales and Urocystales. Here we describe Violaceomycetales ord. nov., Violaceomycetaceae fam. nov. and Violaceomyces palustris gen. et sp. nov. for this unusual fungus.}
