Zinnia elegans Jacq., an ornamental plant of the family compositae has been found to be parasited by Rhizopus nigricans. The disease was recognized as flower rot. Earlier, R. nigricans has not been found on Zinnia elegans. It is, therefore, reported as a new fungus host association and a new disease record for India.
