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.

America: Panama, USA. Asia: Afghanistan, India, Israel, Iraq, Kuwait, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey. Australasia: Australia, New Zealand.

Abstract A description is provided for Phomopsis juniperivora. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On a wide range of conifers, including Juniperus ashei, J. horizontalis var. douglasii, J. japonica, J. scopulorum, J. chinensis, J. virginiana, J. communis, J. sabina var. tamariscifolia, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, C. thyoides, Cupressus macrocarpa, C. arizonica, C. lusitanica, C. sempervirens, C. torulosa, Cryptomeriajaponica, Thuja orientalis, Larix decidua, Pinus banksiana, Pseudotsuga taxifolia, Cephalotaxus drupacea, Abies spp., Taxus baccata. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: N. America (USA, Canada), Europe (UK, France, Denmark), Africa (Kenya, South Africa, Mozambique), Australasia and Oceania (New Zealand). TRANSMISSION: By airborne conidia produced in pycnidia on diseased tissues, liberated by a splash take-off mechanism.

Abstract A description is provided for Alternaria zinniae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Ageratum, Aster, Bidens, Calendula, Callistephus, Chrysanthemum, Coreopsis, Cosmos, Dahlia, Gaillardia, Galinsoga, Gerbera, Helianthus, Notonia, Parthenium, Sphaeranthus indicus, Tagetes, Tithonia, Volutarella, Xanthium, Zinnia. Also recorded are a number of non-compositae hosts such as bean (50, 3295), rape (43, 1212b), Clarkia, Hibiscus esculentus (66. 4729), pawpaws (66. 4729) and seeds of tobacco (64, 1748) but these reports should be regarded with some doubt. Simmons (1982) also reports other hosts like Gentiana, Papaver and Reseda. DISEASE: Leaf spot of Zinnia. The fungus attacks the leaves, stems of its host and can cause damping-off of seedlings where both the root and the stems of the plant may be affected. In older plants the fungus attacks the older leaves and then spreads to the younger leaves, and when the attack is severe the spots may become confluent. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Malawi, Mauritius, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe. Asia: Brunei, China (Liaoning). India, Indonesia (Borneo), Korea, Nepal, Pakistan. Australasia & Oceania: Australia. Europe: Cyprus. Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, The Netherlands. Central & North America: Bermuda, Canada, Jamaica, USA (Hawaii, Illinois, South Dakota). TRANSMISSION: On seeds by wind dispersal of airborne conidia.
