During recent surveys of fieldgrown Gaillardia × grandiflora (Blanket flower) in Yakima Co., WA, a powdery mildew disease was observed on the cv. ‘Baby Cole.’ This report documents the occurrence of the powdery mildew fungus in question (Leveillula taurica (Lév.) G. Arnaud) on Gaillardia × grandiflora and provides information on disease symptomatology as well as features distinguishing this fungus from other powdery mildew pathogens of Gaillardia in North America.

During the summer of 2007 the authors encountered a previously unrecorded powdery mildew disease on several plants of the perennial ornamental plant Stachys byzantina K. Koch ex Scheele (common names: woolly hedgenettle, woolly betony, and lamb's ear) growing in a plant bed near a commercial building in Salinas (Monterey Co.), California. This report documents the occurrence of Neoerysiphe galeopsidis on this host in North America. Accepted for publication 11 October 2007. Published 17 December 2007.

Description and first report of powdery mildew caused by Podosphaera epilobii on E. ciliatum in North America are presented in this brief. The weed is commonly found in California's Salinas Valley (Monterey Co.). Confirmation of the powdery mildew disease indicates that this weed will not be a source of the powdery mildew diseases that affect nearby vegetable and ornamental crops. Accepted for publication 4 September 2007. Published 12 November 2007.

California poppy is an annual species grown widely in the Pacific Northwest. Once established, populations are self-seeding and require little care. During an ongoing study of Erysiphales, a powdery mildew fungus was collected repeatedly on this species in Seattle, WA. The fungus was determined to be Erysiphe cruciferarum Opiz ex Junell, a species not reported previously on this host in North America. This report documents the occurrence of the disease and provides information on the morphology and identification of the causal agent. Accepted for publication 8 November 2006. Published 13 December 2006.

In North Dakota and Minnesota, the authors encountered a powdery mildew disease of Caragana arborescens Lam. (Siberian pea tree) previously unreported from these states. The causal agent was determined to be Microsphaera palczewskii Jacz. This report documents for the first time the presence of M. palczewskii in North America east of the Rocky Mountains and includes information on the morphology, classification, and distribution of this species. Accepted for publication 4 January 2006. Published 17 January 2006.

Scabiosa columbaria L. (dove pincushions) is a perennial species introduced into North America, where it is grown as an ornamental landscape plant. Little information is available on pathogens attacking it in North America. Recently, the authors encountered a powdery mildew fungus on this host species in Washington and determined it to be Erysiphe knautiae Duby. This report describes the disease as well as diagnostic features and taxonomy of the causal agent. Accepted for publication 11 October 2005. Published 24 October 2005.

Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) is widespread in the Pacific Northwest where it is considered a noxious weed. During 2002, collections of a powdery mildew fungus attacking C. arvensis were made from Pierce, Spokane, Whitman, and Yakima counties, WA. Based on morphological features we determined the fungus to be Erysiphe convolvuli. Accepted for publication 22 September 2003. Published 21 October 2003.

Tecoma capensis (Thunb.) Lindl. (Bignoniaceae, common name: Cape honeysuckle), native to southern Africa, is grown as an ornamental plant in warm regions of the USA. The powdery mildew reported previously from T. capensis in North America was an undetermined Oidium species in Florida. The present report documents the occurrence of the powdery mildew fungus Erysiphe peruviana (Syd.) U. Braun & S. Takam. on T. capensis in Arizona. Accepted for publication 4 January 2010.

Chinese matrimony-vine (Lycium chinense Mill.) is a traditional medicinal plant grown in China and used as a perennial landscape plant in North America. This report documents the presence of powdery mildew on L. chinense in the Pacific Northwest and describes and illustrates morphological features of the causal agent. It appears to be the first report of a powdery mildew caused by Arthrocladiella in the Pacific Northwest. Accepted for publication 10 November 2004. Published 8 December 2004.
