Abstract A description is provided for Ramularia rubella. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Rumex acetosa, R. aquaticus, R. brownii, R. conglomeratus, R. crispus, R. hymenosepalus, R. longifolius, R. nepalensis, R. obtusifolius, R. pulcher, R. stenophyllus. DISEASE: Leaf spot of Rumex spp. Symptoms occur more frequently on older leaves. Spots are apparent on both sides of leaf. Lesions are irregular, frequently angular or circular, brown with a buff centre often having a dark brown or purple border, sometimes coalescent. Size varies from 1-15 mm (mostly 7 mm) diam. Sporulation begins at centre of lesion, conidia in profusion will give a frosted appearance to spots.

CMI Map 114, ed. 4, 1983. TRANSMISSION: Soil-borne. Overwinters as ustilospores buried in plant debris; not transmitted by seed or in tubers, although spread by soil attached to tubers is possible (6, 97; 17, 655; 41, 603; 49, 1050); mature ustilospores are capable of remaining viable for a long period when dry (16, 304). Conidia contribute to dissemination during the growing season (49, 1050).

Abstract A description is provided for Ramularia deusta. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Leguminosae: Lathyrus hirsutus, L. latifolius, L. maritimus, L. monatus, L. niger, L. palustris, L. pratensis, L. roseus, L. Silvester, L. sylvestris, L. tuberosus, Lotus corniculatus, L. siliquosus. DISEASE: Leaf spot of Lathyrus and Lotus spp. In the case of Lathyrus latifolius, perennial pea, lesions have been recorded on leaflets, petioles, stipules, tendrils, stems peduncles and pods (30, 41). Sporulation is known to occur in August and September. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Europe (England, Germany, Ireland, Sweden), South America (Brazil), North America (USA: California, Washington). TRANSMISSION: By wind dispersal of air-borne conidia. Baker et al. (1950) also noticed that lesions extended through pod walls infecting perennial pea seeds, but did not investigate this mode of transmission.

Abstract A description is provided for Phomopsis obscurans. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Fragaria chiloensis, Fragaria chiloensis var. ananassa, F. vesca, F. virginiana. DISEASE: Leaf blight of strawberry. Forming reddish-purple, almost circular lesions on older leaves and calyces which become elliptical or V-shaped when formed along veins, with the central portion drying out and turning brown. Delayed development of symptoms may lead to difficulties in distinguishing lesions in the field from those of leaf spot (Mycosphaerella fragariae (Tul.) Lind.) and leaf scorch (Diplocarpon earliana (Ellis & Everh.) Wolf). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Malawi, Mauritius, Rhodesia, Tanzania, Zambia); Asia (India, Nepal, Pakistan, U.S.S.R.); Australasia & Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Tonga); North America (Canada, U.S.A.); South America (Argentina). TRANSMISSION: The pathogen overwinters as viable pycnidia in lesions on the old leaves which remain attached to the plant. Primary infection may occur early in the season by rain-splashed conidia.
