Abstract: During the present investigation fungal colonies were isolated from the leaf surface mycoflora of Barleria prionitis plants. Overall 568 fungal colonies were observed from the leaf surface mycoflora of Barleria prionitis plant. Out of total fungal colonies 568, 38 fungal species belonging to 17 genera of fungi were observed during the present study. Among 38 fungal species, 3 from Zygomycotina, 2 from Ascomycotina, 33 from Anamorphic fungi were recorded The season and month wise percentage contribution and abundance of the leaf surface were also observed, maximum density of the mycoflora was observed in winter season and in the month of November. Minimum density was observed in summer season and in the month of May. The variations in environmental factor Viz. Temperature, Relative humidity, Rainfall on dispersion of airspore on leaf surface where further discussed. The linear and non-parametric correlation between number of colonies and all meteorological factors were estimated and explored by means of Spearman’s correlation analyses.
