Abstract A description is provided for Alternaria dianthicola. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Dianthus barbatus, D. caesius, D. caryophyllus. Plantain (Musa puradisiaca) has also been recorded as a host. Plants of Gypsophila have been infected successfully after being inoculated with this fungus. DISEASE: Carnation bud-rot. Affected flower buds can turn brown and shrivel without opening or when open develop olive-brown patches where the conidia are produced. Stems and leaves may also be attacked, developing pale yellow-brown dark bordered spots. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Malawi (43, 877), South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe. Asia: Bhutan, Malaysia, Thailand. Australasia & Oceania: New Zealand. Europe: Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Romania, The Netherlands. Central & South America: Brazil (43, 688), Chile, Jamaica. North America: USA. TRANSMISSION: By wind dispersal of airborne conidia.

Abstract A description is provided for Seiridium cardinale. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Cupressus macrocarpa, C. lusitanica, C. forbesii, C. pygamaea, C. sempervirens, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, Thuja plicata, Libocedrus decurrens, Juniperus decurrens var. femina. DISEASE: Coryneum canker of Cupressus. The first sign of infection consists of a depressed, slightly discoloured area of young bark about 10-15 mm diam., exuding fresh drops of resin. This will enlarge, becoming necrotic in the centre, with collapse of these tissues and hypertrophy at the end of the canker thus formed. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Australia & Oceania (Australia, New Zealand); North America (USA; California); South America (Argentina); Africa (South Africa); Europe (Italy, France, Spain, Greece). TRANSMISSION: Mainly by conidia which are liberated from acervuli at the edge of active cankers by a splash take-off sequence. Transmission by transport of infected nursery stock to fresh planting areas has occurred.
