Golovinomyces brunneopunctatus is a species of powdery mildew in the family Erysiphaceae. It is found in North America and Europe, where it affects monkeyflowers (Erythranthe, Diplacus and Mimulus sensu lato).[1]
Description
[edit]The fungus forms thin, sometimes greyish, patches on both leaf sides of its host. Golovinomyces brunneopunctatus, like most Erysiphaceae, is highly host-specific and infects only three genera.[1] There is another powdery mildew species found on Diplacus in western North America that represents an unknown Phyllactinia sect. Basiphyllactinia species.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]The fungus was formally described in 1984 by Uwe Braun. It was transferred to the genus Golovinomyces by V.P. Heluta in 1988.[3]
