Uromycladium tepperianum is a rust fungus that infects over 100 species of Acacia and related genera including Paraserianthes in Australia, south-east Asia, the south Pacific and New Zealand. The acacia gall rust fungus species Uromycladium tepperianum has been introduced to South Africa as a biological control on the invasive Australian shrub Acacia saligna. Uromycladium tepperianum is differentiated from other species of Uromycladium by the presence of three one-celled fertile teliospores on the pedicel.

Uromycladium is a genus of rust fungi in the family Pileolariaceae. It was circumscribed by mycologist Daniel McAlpine in 1905. The genus was established by McAlpine for rusts on Acacia (Fabaceae, subfamily Mimosoideae) with teliospores that clustered at the top of a pedicel. The genus contains at least 11 species. Some of these species infect plants in the family Mimosoideae including Acacia, Paraserianthes and Falcataria. Most species are considered to be specific to only one host species of plant, such as Uromycladium simplex on Acacia pycnantha and Uromycladium falcatarium on Falcataria

Leptosphaerulina is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class was unknown in 2007 until it was placed within the Didymellaceae family in the Pleosporales order. The genus was first described by Australian plant pathologist Daniel McAlpine in 1902. Situation: A range of cool season grasses. Turf damage: Uniform yellow or brown lesions may extend down to the leaf sheath. Water-soaked lesions, which quickly fade to a bleached white, may also occur on the leaf blades. Occurrence: Disease outbreaks can occur during warm, humid

Laccocephalum basilapidoides, referred to as the stone-making fungus, is a fungus known only from Australia.

Laccocephalum is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was discovered in 1895 by Daniel McAlpine and Otto Tepper. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek words λάκκος ("cistern") and κεφαλή ("head").

Asteridiella is a genus of fungi in the family Meliolaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Daniel McAlpine in 1897, who differentiated it from various other fungal genera:"Asterula, Sacc, has continuous hyaline spores (Hyalosporae), Asteronia, Sacc, has continuous brown spores (Phaeosporae). Asterina, Lev., has two-celled hyaline spores (Hyalodidymae). Asterella, Sacc, has two-celled brown spores (Phaeodidymae). Asteridium, Sacc, has multi-septate hyaline spores (Hyalophragmiae). And in the case of the specimen on Solanum viride with multi-septate brown spores, I have ventured to use

Asteridiella solani is a species of fungus in the family Meliolaceae, first described by Daniel McAlpine in 1897, who gave the following description: On upper and under surfaces of leaves, leaf-stalks and branches; forming densely crowded, minute, black, generally orbicular, often confluent, easily detachable, brittle crusts, with surface of leaf beneath of a pale brown or pale reddish colour. Mycelium composed of an interosculating network of delicate, colourless, septate, luxuriantly branched hyphae, about 3 μ broad, and attached to matrix, gradually passing into the stouter coloured hyphae
