Abstract

A homothallic Phyrophthora sp. producing persistent and markedly papillate sporangia was isolated, together with P. nicotianae, from the rotted roots of seedlings of myrtle (Myrtus communis), grown in pots in a commercial nursery in Sardinia, Italy. The homothallic species isolated from myrtle was identified as P. iranica on the basis of morphological and cultural characteristics; it differed from other known Phytophthora spp. belonging to Waterhouse's group I in its higher cardinal growth temperatures
