Their morphology and isozyme patterns for MDH and GPI were compared with those of seven known <em>Phytophthora</em> species. Isolates from Indonesia assigned to <em>P. arecae</em> or <em>P. palmivora</em> by morphology had identical isozyme patterns and could not be separated by cluster analysis. Isolates of <em>P. palmivora</em> had one single-banded, and three triple-banded GPI patterns, one of which was unique to isolates from coconut. Isolates from Ivory Coast were assigned by morphology and by a distinctive MDH isozyme pattern to <em>P. katsurae</em>. They showed some morphological similarities, and had an identical GPI isozyme pattern to reference cultures of <em>P. heveae</em>, previously reported as a pathogen on coconut. We conclude that <em>P. palmivora</em> is the main pathogen associated with bud rot and premature nut-fall in Indonesia, whereas <em>P. katsurae</em> is associated with premature nut-fall in Ivory Coast.</p>1 aBlaha, Georges1 aHall, Geoffrey1 aWarokka, Jeffry, S1 aConcibido, Erlene1 aOrtiz-Garcia, Carlos  uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0953756209810678
