Abstract

In May 2003, Phytophthora ramorum S. Werres & A.W.A.M. de Cock was isolated from the leaf tips of a single plant of false Solomon's seal (Maianthemum racemosum (L.) Link, formely known as Smilacina racemosa (L.) Desf.), a native, herbaceous perennial of the Liliaceae family, at the Jack London State Park in Sonoma County, California. Affected leaves had cream-to-brown lesions on the tips that were delimited by a yellow chlorotic zone. Lesions on the stems were not observed.
