ABSTRACT = {A new disease of <i>Spathiphyllum wallisii</i> plants, characterized by leaf yellowing and wilting due to root and crown rot, was observed in nurseries of the Great Buenos Aires, Argentina. A fungus was consistently isolated from diseased tissue and identified as <i>Cylindrocladium spathiphylli</i>, on the base of its morphological and cultural characteristics. Inoculation tests were carried out which confirmed this fungus as the causal agent of the disease. This is the first report of <i>C. spathiphylli</i> causing root and crown rot of <i>S. wallisii</i> in Buenos Aires.},
