Abstract A description is provided for Camarosporium ephedrae, which is unlikely to be a serious pathogen, rather a saprobe specialized for Ephedra, although in some cases it may be involved in twig decline. Some information on its dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Germany, Russia (Lipetsk), Ukraine, and the UK) and hosts (Ephedra andina, Ephedra distachya, Ephedra foliata, Ephedra lomatolepis, Ephedra strobilacea, and Ephedra sp.).
