Tilletia Transvaalensis

''Tilletia'' is a genus of smut fungi in the Tilletiaceae family. Species in this genus are plant pathogens that affect various Poaceae, grasses. ''Tilletia indica'', which causes Karnal bunt of wheat, and ''Tilletia horrida'', responsible for rice kernel smut, are examples of species that affect economically important crops.

The widespread genus contains about 175 species. The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Edmond Tulasne and Charles Tulasne in Ann. Sci. Nat. Bot. ser.3, vol.7 on page 112 in 1847.

The genus was named after a agronomist from France, Mathieu Tillet (1714–1791).
