Ophiostoma himal-ulmi
Ophiostoma himal-ulmi is a species of fungus in the family Ophiostomataceae. It is one of the causative agents of Dutch elm disease. It was first isolated around breeding galleries of scolytid beetles in the bark of Ulmus wallichiana (the Himalayan elm). This, together with the fact that it is endemic to the Himalayas, is the reason it is named himal-ulmi (‘of the Himalayan elm’; ulmi means ‘of the elm’).
