Notes

In some glasshouse crops of cucumbers in Auckland and North Auckland this fungus is reported damaging leaves, sometimes causing considerable crop losses. Dingley (1960b) misidentified this fungus as Alternaria cucumerina, which differs in that conidia are shorter, often without beaks, and are rarely formed in chains.
