Description A new species of Fossombronia,  F. renateae, from Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal in southern Africa is described. It is distinguished by its reflexed, undulating leaves and often stipitate pseudoperianth with a highly convoluted mouth, as well as by completely or incompletely reticulate spores and usually by short, blunt elaters with two spirals which often form rings or coils. Notes are provided on two unnamed species from Mpumalanga which cannot be fully described as yet, since ripe spores are not available for study. Brief references are made to some tropical African species.
