Abstract A description is provided for Leptosphaeria fusispora. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Although the fungus appears on the dry stems of its hosts, it is not known to cause any pathological symptoms. HOSTS: Capparis, Genista, Lythrum, Onobrychis, Polygonum and Thalictrum. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: NORTH AMERICA: USA (New York, Virginia). EUROPE: Austria, France, Germany, Italy,? Poland (PETRAK, 1925). TRANSMISSION: Ascospores are dispersed by wind and rain-splash; the fungus presumably overwinters on dead host tissue and the ascospores are dispersed in the next favourable season.
