Abstract A description is provided for Gymnosporangium clavipes. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Aecia on quince (Cydonia vulgaris); apple (Malus sylvestris) and hawthorn (Crataegus), also on Amelanchier, Aronia, Cheanomeles, Cotoneaster, Mespilus, Photinia, Pyrus and Sorbus but not of any importance on pear (Pyrus communis). Telia on Juniperus communis, J. sihirica and J. virginiana. DISEASE: Quince rust. Aecia chiefly on fruit, sometimes on fusiform swellings of stems and leaf veins of quince; not reported on apple foliage and though infections damage the fruit aecial pustules are rarely formed on fruit of apple. Telia on slight fusiform swellings of twigs and larger branches of juniper. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread throughout Canada and the USA. Also reported from Mexico (CMI Map 121, ed. 2, 1975).

Abstract A description is provided for Podosphaera clandestina. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Crataegus monogyna, C. pentagyna, C. punctata, Mespilus germanica, Cratoegomespilus grandiflora, C. dardari, Pyrus communis, Cydonia vulgaris, Pyrocydonia winkleri and P. danieli. DISEASE: Hawthorn mildew. Severe attacks cause defoliation and death of terminal buds on young seedlings and on soft shoots on hedges and trees. The disease has been recorded on hawthorn fruits. The host plant can be grown only from seeds. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Worldwide (Salmon, 1900; 45, 3081). Cleistothecia play no part in the disease in England. The overwintering mycelium, inside infected buds, survives until the following spring. These infected buds are the primary infections found each year. Secondary infection is by air-borne conidia.

Abstract A description is provided for Lophodermium conigenum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Mainly Diploxylon (two-three needle) pines, including Pinus brutia, P. densiflora, P. montana, P. mugo, P. nigra, P. resinosa, P. sylvestris, P. tabuliformis, P. contorta, P. halepensis, P. pinea and P. radiata. Has also been recorded from Haploxylon (five needle) pines. DISEASE: Needle cast of pines. Lophodermium conigenum inhabits green needles on the tree, producing no symptoms. When a branch bearing such needles is killed by an agent other than the fungus, L. conigenum fruits seprophytically on the needles. It causes no significant damage to the tree. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread in Europe, a couple of records from the USA (east coast and Michigan) where it is apparently not common, New Zealand. TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in wet weather/humid conditions.
