Abstract
Abstract A description is provided for Septoria socia . Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Chrysanthemum leucanthemum [Leucanthemum vulgare] and by inoculation on Chrysanthemum morifolium, C. maximum, C . parthenium, C. segetum and Achillea ptarmica (Punithalingam & Wheeler, 1965). DISEASE: Leaf spot of ox-eye daisy, C. leucanthemum . Lesions few, conspicuous on the upper side, rarely confluent, necrotic areas, becoming chocolate brown and later darker or even black, with a reddish purple border, 5 mm across. Lesions are confined to the lower leaves of the plant. Severe infection involving the entire leaf surface during moist conditions causes premature death. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Czechoslovakia, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Pakistan and U.S.S.R. (Literature, Herb. IMI). TRANSMISSION: Not known. It is possible that, like other Septoria spp. on Chrysanthemum this species may be disseminated by rain-splash and by contact.
