Mystrosporium adustum Massee

Notes

Brien and Dingley (1953) recorded ink spot from Iris tingitana. It forms both leaf spots and bulb lesions and sometimes Considerably damages bulbs. Say (1964) noted that it was common on I. reticulate. On Lachenalia sp. it may cause considerable damage to the bulbs. It may be important in bulbous irises in commercial planting.
