Cercospora pini-densiflorae Hori et Nambu sp. nov. ex Vis-

Acervuli punctiform, minute, black; conidiophores projecting 

 from stromata, grouped, dark-brown, about 44/1. high, 4.4 fx. 

 across; conidia filiform or long-obclavate, slightly curved or 

 straight, pale-yellow, 4-5-, sometimes 6-septate, 41.49-50.7 X 

 1.23-4.6 /X. 



Hyphae pale-amber, intercellular; spots yellowish-brown, 

 usually occurring on the upper half of the leaf; disease first 

 starts from the upper part of the plant, gradually coming down,

On leaves of young plants of Pinns densiflora. 



Type locality: Nursery of Makago, Kagoshima-ken, Major 

 Forest Office, September 20, 191 5. 



A great many young plants, mostly two years old, were fatally 

 injured in the nursery above mentioned, which is located in the 

 southern part of Kyushu Island. The occurrence of this disease 

 so far as reported seems to be only local font it seems likely to 

 prove dangerous if it is not controlled by treatment of seedlings 

 with Bordeaux mixture, as suggested by the writer.
