Abstract

Abstract A description is provided for Ramularia ajugae , a plant parasite, apparently obligately associated with its host plants, causing a leafspot disease, with records on living, dying and dead leaves. This species has been recorded with its host plants from deciduous woodland, mixed plantations, bare ground in alder swamps, on rocks by stream, in parkland, on moorland, and in fens and farmlard. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Kenya, South Africa)), North America (USA (Massachusetts, Ohio)), Asia (Armenia, Azerbaijan, China (Guangxi), Georgia, India (Himachal Pradesh), Australasia (Australia (New South Wales, Queensland), New Zealand), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia (Kirov oblast, Lipetsk oblast), Serbia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK)) and hosts (including Ajuga spp.). No reports of negative economic impacts of this fungus have been found.
