Sclerophoma ambigua Funk and Parker, n. sp., is described from diseased flowering dogwood (Cornus nuttallii Audubon) in British Columbia, Canada. The canker disease is described and discussed; evidence of pathogenicity of the fungus is presented. The fungus is also associated with dieback of branch tips.
