- Abstract
This article is the first confirmed record of Septoria betulae infecting birch in Great Britain although its significance as a pathogen has yet to be determined. In August and September 2004, a survey was conducted to evaluate diseases of birch (Betula spp.) in Scotland, as it is a major broadleaved component of recent, upland, native woodland planting. At three sites in south-west Scotland a number of downy birch (Betula pubescens) trees were found to have unusual leaf spots. Conidia were morphologically similar to those produced on infected leaves. An isolate of this fungus was formally identified as Septoria betulae.
