Abstract A description is provided for Entyloma serotinum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Symphytum spp., including S. asperrimum, S. bulbosum, S. cordatum, S. officinale, S. ottomanum and S. tuberosum; Borago officinalis; also recorded on Amsinckia, Lappula and Mertensia spp. (in USA) and Pulmonaria (in Europe, but see 64, 4163). DISEASE: Leaf spot of Symphylum, less frequently (though with similar symptoms) of other members of the Boraginaceae.GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Algeria. Asia: Israel, USSR (Republic of Georgia). Australasia: New Zealand. Europe: widespread, including Austria, British Isles, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, France (including Corsica), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, USSR (Latvia), Yugoslavia. North America: USA. TRANSMISSION: Ustilospores survive on infected plant remains and in soil, and germinate to infect seedlings and the new seasons's leaves. In Europe conidia may also over-winter and initiate new infections in spring (Kaiser, 1936). During the growing season, conidia are disseminated by air currents and water-splash.

HOSTS: Calendula officinarum, also C. aegyptiaca, C. algeriensis, C. arvensis, C. persica. DISEASE: Leaf spot of Calendula. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widely distributed in Europe including Scandinavia and USSR (Latvia); around the Mediterranean (Algeria, Israel, Tunisia, Turkey); North America (USA), South America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay); Australia (New South Wales, Western Australia), New Zealand. TRANSMISSION: Ustilospores survive on infected plant remains in soil and germinate to infect the new crop. Overwintering on self-sown seedlings is also possible.

Abstract A description is provided for Entyloma calendulae f. dahliae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Dahlia variabilis, D. coccinia, D. pinnata; cultivated dahlia. DISEASE: Leaf spot of Dahlia. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widely distributed in Europe including Finland and Sweden; Africa; North America (USA); Central and South America and West Indies (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Venezuela); Asia (Burma, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea); Australia and New Zealand. 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).

HOSTS: Dianthus spp., occasionally also on other similar members of the Caryophyllaceae, such as Lychnis and Saponaria. DISEASE: Leaf spot of carnation. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Kenya, Morocco, South Africa, Uganda. Asia: Cyprus, India, Iran, Japan Turkey. Australasia: New Zealand. Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, England, Finland, Italy, Iceland, Norway, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, West Germany, Yugoslavia. North America: Canada (British Columbia), El Salvador, Mexico, USA (California, Florida, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Texas). South America: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Peru. TRANSMISSION: Conidia are dispersed by wind or rain, spreading from leaf to leaf, or to new plants.

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. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: North America: USA (Arizona, California, Colorado, Ohio, Washington, Wisconsin); South America: Brazil; Europe: Eire, England, Germany, Romania, Sweden, USSR; Africa: Libya; Asia: India, Iraq; Australasia: Australia (Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria), New Zealand. TRANSMISSION: Probably wind dispersal by air-borne spores.

Abstract A description is provided for Ascochyta avenae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Avena byzantina (Red or Algerian oat), A. fatua (Spring wild oat), A. sativa (common oat), A. mortoniana, Hordeum vulgare (barley), Loliumperenne (perennial ryegrass) and Triticum (wheat). DISEASE: Leaf spot or blotch of oats. At first lesions start as small purplish or chocolate-brown spots with a distinct margin. With time they enlarge, become elongated, grey brown and finally straw coloured. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Australasia & Oceania (New Zealand); Europe (Austria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, UK); North America (Canada, USA, Colorado, Oregon, Washington). TRANSMISSION: No specific studies reported. Presumably spread by air-borne conidia and those carried over in crop residues.

Abstract A description is provided for Pyrenophora dictyoides. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Festuca, Lolium, Phleum, Poa. DISEASE: Causes net blotch and leaf spot primarily of fescues. Irregular brown leaf lesions with a delicate netted pattern are formed which may result in the withering of the whole leaf blade. Common on meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis) causing net-blotch lesions and occasionally found on Lolium and other grasses. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. TRANSMISSION: By spores, overwintering on leaf bases, crop debris, etc., and by seed transmission (50, 3873).

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.
