Abstract A description is provided for Peronospora conglomerata. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Erodium ciconium, E. cicutarium, E. hoefftianum, Geranium collinum, G. columbinum, G. dissectum, G. lucidum, G. macrorhizum, G. molle, G. ocellatum, G. phaeum, G. pratensis, G. purpureum, G. pusillum, G. pyrenaicum, G. robertianum, G. rotundifolium, G. solanderi, G. sylvaticum, G. transversale. DISEASE: Downy mildew of Geranium species. Conidiophores occur over the entire undersurface of the leaf, which remains small and becomes crinkled and yellowish. In G. pusillum, a weak infection creates only light green patches on affected leaves, but a heavy infection reduces leaf size, and the blade often turns up, causing much tissue damage and subsequent leaf fall (39, 159). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Canary Isles. Asia-Temperate: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Republic of Georgia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kirgizistan, Uzbekistan, Stravropol, Turkmenistan. Asia-Tropical: India. Australasia: Australia (Qld), New Zealand. Europe: Austria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Eire, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia (Krym, Smolensk, Pskov, Perm, Tatariya), Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK (England, Scotland), Yugoslavia. North America: Canada (British Columbia), USA (Idaho, Washington State). TRANSMISSION: By conidia dispersed by wind or rain-splash. The role of oospores in disease transmission is unknown, but they may act as perennating structures.

DISEASE: Downy mildew of Rumex. Both leaves and flowers are infected. On R. acetosella, the plant remains upright following infection and the upper leaves crumple. In other Rumex species, infected leaves become covered in a very dense layer of violet-coloured felt on their undersurface, whereas a grey felt layer develops on flowers. Leaves become yellowish and their margins roll back (39, 159). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Libya, Morocco, South Africa. Asia-Temperate: Azerbaijan, Republic of Georgia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kirghizistan, Stavropol. Asia-Tropical: India. Australasia: New Zealand.
