Abstract A description is provided for Sorosporium saponariae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Dianthus and Saponaria spp. and other members of the Caryophyllaceae including Arenaria, Cerastium, Lychnis, Minuartia, Moehringia, Petrorhagia, Silene, Stellaria and Tunica spp. DISEASE: Flower smut of the Caryophyllaceae.GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Algeria, Morocco. Asia: USSR (Caucasia, Siberia, Turkestan). Australasia: Australia (33, 634). Europe: widespread, including Austria, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Finland France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Yugoslavia. North America: USA. South America: Argentina, Chile (33, 634). Southern hemisphere records are infrequent. TRANSMISSION: No detailed studies have been reported. Floral organs, including ovules, frequently develop in infected flowers (55, 3947), therefore seed transmission is probable, with systemic infection established in seedlings from either this source or contaminated soil.

Abstract A description is provided for Cylindrocarpon musae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Musa AAA (Cavendish). DISEASE: Rotting of fleshy roots and rhizomes of banana. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Asia: Philippines; North America: Costa Rica, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Panama; South America: Colombia, Ecuador. TRANSMISSION: The fungus probably survives as 'chlamydospores' in soil. Its slimy spores may be dispersed by water. Long distance spread may potentially occur by transportation of infected plant material or contaminated soil.

Abstract A description is provided for Ustilago longissima. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Species of Glyceria, including G. maxima, G. fluitans, G. grandis, G. multiflora, G. nemoralis, G. obtusa, G. plicata, G. striata. DISEASE: Leaf stripe smut of Glyceria. Infected plants are slightly stunted, pale or yellowish-green, and usually fail to flower. Sporulation can occur throughout the growing season of the host. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread, especially in north temperate regions. Asia: India (Nilgiri Hills), USSR (Siberia); Europe: Austria, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USSR (Estonia, Republic of Georgia, Latvia, Russia), Yugoslavia; North America: Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Man, NS, Ont, Que, Sask), USA (Connecticut, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, ME, Maine, Michigan, MN, MT, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Washington State); South America: Argentina. TRANSMISSION: No detailed studies have been reported. The powdery ustilospores are readily disseminated by wind and water. Seed transmission is considered unlikely.

Abstract A description is provided for Phialophora verrucosa. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Man, Felis, Equus. DISEASE: Chromomycosis (chromoblastomycosis) subcutaneous and systemic (mycoses). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Algeria, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa; Asia: China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines; Europe: Finland, France, Israel, Sweden, Turkey, U.K., USSR; North America: USA (widespread), Canada (Ontario); Central & South America: Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela; Australasia: Australia. TRANSMISSION: Generally infection is from plant debris etc. following cutaneous trauma, the fungus generally remaining localized at the point of entry, or spread via the lymphatic system to cause systemic infection. The fungus is widespread in soils etc.

Abstract A description is provided for Podosphaera leucotricha. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Malus spp., chiefly on M. pumila (apple), peach (Prunus persica), quince (Cydonia ualgaris) and Photinia spp. also attacked (Hirata, 1966). Also reported on almond fruit (43, 2544).
