Abstract A description is provided for Gymnosporangium confusum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Aecia on hawthorn (Crataegus), European quince (Cydonia vulgaris), Japanese quince (Chaenomeles japonica) and medlar (Mespilus germanica); also on Cotoneaster and Sorbus, and occasionally weak infections on pear (Pyrus communis). Telia on junipers of both the 'oxycedrus' and 'sabina' groups. DISEASE: Medlar rust. Aecia chiefly on the leaves but also on stems, calyces and fruit. Telia on slight fusiform swellings of twigs and branches of juniper. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread throughout Europe, extending into Asia (India, Iran, Lebanon, Pakistan, Turkey, USSR) and Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia). Also established in USA (California) (CMI Map 429, ed. 1, 1967).

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.
