Abstract A description is provided for Embellisia allii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Allium sativum (white garlic). DISEASE: Garlic bulb canker; lesions occur on the bulbs of white garlic on the back and edges of the cloves where they touch other cloves. Lesions are seen as a dark layer underneath the epidermis. The fungus then penetrates the parenchyma causing a breakdown of the cells to form lacunae in which the fungus can sporulate. The leaves and flower stems of garlic can also be attacked by the fungus. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Egypt, Zimbabwe. Asia: Israel. Australasia & Oceania: Australia (NSW), New Zealand. Europe: Bulgaria, Italy, Romania, Spain, UK, Yugoslavia. North America: Mexico, USA (Louisiana, Massachussetts, New Mexico). Central & South America: Argentina. Brazil, Chile. Puerto Rico, Venezuela. TRANSMISSION: The fungus overwinters in the plant debris, soil and infected bulbs.

Abstract A description is provided for Entyloma calendulae f. dahliae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Dahlia variabilis, D. coccinia, D. pinnata; cultivated dahlia. DISEASE: Leaf spot of Dahlia. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widely distributed in Europe including Finland and Sweden; Africa; North America (USA); Central and South America and West Indies (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Venezuela); Asia (Burma, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea); Australia and New Zealand. CMI Map 114, ed. 4, 1983. TRANSMISSION: Soil-borne. Overwinters as ustilospores buried in plant debris; not transmitted by seed or in tubers, although spread by soil attached to tubers is possible (6, 97; 17, 655; 41, 603; 49, 1050); mature ustilospores are capable of remaining viable for a long period when dry (16, 304). Conidia contribute to dissemination during the growing season (49, 1050).
