- Abstract
This article examines a specimen of Rhododendron ponticum with wilting foliage and blackened shoot tips, from a nursery in Perthshire, Scotland, in September 2003. A homothallic species of Phytophthora was isolated on a selective V8 medium showing a weak stellate pattern with sparse aerial mycelium. Detached leaves of disease-free Gaultheria shalon and Rhododendron ponticum Sequencing of the cytochrome c oxidase were inoculated with mycelium plugs of the new isolates. Phytophthora inflata was first described by Caroselli & Tucker, causing a pit canker on elm trees in Michigan.
