Zaidan Khalif Amran Babylon University- College of Science for women-Biological Department. SUMMARY This paper was an attempts to isolation and identification species of Ulocladium associated with seeds, leaves ,stems ,fruits of some plants and soil samples from deferent provinces: Babylon, Karbala, Najaf ,Nassiria and Basrah in Iraq, the results were show isolation and identification 11 species of Ulocladium, 4 of 11 species were recorded for the first time, also determination the variation in cultural characters and morphological characters such as conidial types were ulocladioid conidia type or alternarioid conidia type or both and conidial morphology; obovate or spherical or elliptic , conidiophore types geneculate or not , simple or branched, and primary or secondary conidiophores and evaluated the values of these characters in species identification. The new recorded species for Iraq in this study were U.cucurbitae, U.multiforme, U. populi and U.septosporum keywords: taxonomic study ,Ulocladium , Iraq. E-mail: zaidan_omran@yahoo.com 33
