- Abstract
The article reports on cylindrocladium pauciramosum causing root and collar rot of Polygala myrtifolia , or milkwort, in Valencia, Spain. In November 2004, plants of P. myrtifolia showing foliar chlorosis and wilting of the shoots with collar and root were noticed. Chlamydospores were brown and formed microsclerotia. Such features are in harmony with the description of Cylindrocladium pauciramosum. Addition confirmation was achieved by sequence analysis. Wounds made at the base of the stems of a year-old plants of P. myrtifolia were inoculated with an aqueous suspension. The organism was reisolated from the diseased parts of the inoculated plants.
