Pathogenicity

Scab on leaves of Salix sp. occurs only in late summer and autumn; it may cause early leaf fall. It is of little economic importance. It was first recorded by Murray (1926) under Gloeosporium capreae Allesch, but Jenkins and Grodsinsky (1943) showed that the fungus had been misidentified.
