Abstract A description is provided for Periconia macrospinosa. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Sorghum spp. ; also from wheat, roots of Chenopopodium album and red clover, rhizospheres of sugarcane, wheat and Rauwolfia serpentina and from soil. DISEASE: This species, which has been confused with P. circinata the causal organism of milo disease of sorghum, was shown to be non-pathogenic by Lefebvre, Johnson & Sherwin (1949). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Australia, Canada, England, France, Hong Kong, India, U.S.A. TRANSMISSION: Soil-borne.

Abstract A description is provided for Periconia circinata. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Sorghum and Triticum spp. DISEASE: First found on stubble of wheat plants affected by foot rot in France, later isolated from wheat roots in England, best known, however, as the causal organism of milo disease of sorghum in U.S.A. Roots of susceptible sorghum plants are badly rotted and seedlings stunted, leaves tend to curl as if affected by drought. Crowns of diseased plants when split show a dark red discoloration. Plants may die as seedlings with the roots completely rotted or they may grow on though stunted until the time of heading when they begin to show signs of firing; the heads do not develop fully and the plants die just when grain of resistant plants is at the hard-dough stage. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: England, France, U.S.A. (CMI Map 282, 1953). TRANSMISSION: Soil-borne.

Abstract A description is provided for Pestalotiopsis mangiferae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Mangifera indica; also on Anacardium occidentale, Combretum decandrum, Eucalyptus spp., Mimusops spp., Vitis vinifera and many other unrelated host plants. DISEASE: Grey leaf spot of Mangifera indica. The spots vary in size from a few mm to several cm in length, are usually sharply delimited by a dark, raised border, and are silvery grey above and grey to brown below; leaf spots on other hosts are similar. Brown spot or rot of mango fruits is also known. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia; Bangladesh, Brunei, Burma, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Sabah, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka; Australia; Dominican Republic; Venezuela. TRANSMISSION: Inoculation studies with conidia and mycelium have shown P. mangiferae to be a weak parasite, capable of infecting young injured leaves, injured fruits, older uninjured leaves and healthy fruits if in contact with diseased tissue (35, 378; 40, 421). It has been isolated from soil, but the possibility of transmission through soil has not been investigated.
