Description

Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Conidiomata pycnidial, discrete, depressed globose, partly erumpent, dark brown, ostiolate, 0.12–0.3 mm in diameter; often arranged in concentric circles on necrotic leaf spots which are circular, large (2–5 cm in diameter), with a pale yellow centre and a wide dark brown to yellow brown margin, mainly on the upper surfaces of leaves. Conidia obovoid to pyriform, 0-septate, 13–20 × 8–10 μm, with a 2–3 μm thick mucilaginous coat and a mucilaginous, slender apical appendage, 13–21 (up to 40) μm long.

Distribution

Distribution: Northland, Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Wellington, Hawkes Bay, Chatham Islands.; 1st Record: McKenzie (1991: as Phyllosticta sp.).

Notes

Pathogenicity

Significance: Recorded as a pathogen on leaves of plants belonging to a number of angiospermous families (Aa 1973). It is capable of killing large portions of the laminae of Corynocarpus laevigatus (karaka) leaves.; Host(s): Corynocarpus laevigatus.
