Abstract A description is provided for Ramularia astragali. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Astragalus carolinianus. DISEASE: Leaf spot of A. carolinianus. The lesions are mainly circular, but occasionally fuse and become irregular.
