Azadirachta is a genus of two species of trees in the mahogany family Meliaceae. Numerous species have been proposed for the genus but only two are currently recognized, Azadirachta excelsa and the economically important tree Azadirachta indica, the neem tree, from which neem oil is extracted. Both species are native to the Indomalaysian region, and A. indica is also widely cultivated and naturalized outside its native range.
Cercospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi. Most species have no known sexual stage, and when the sexual stage is identified, it is in the genus Mycosphaerella. Most species of this genus cause plant diseases, and form leaf spots. It is a relatively well-studied genus of fungi, but there are countless species not yet described, and there is still much to learn about the best-known members of the genus.
Lagerstroemia indica, the crape myrtle is a species of flowering plant in the genus Lagerstroemia of the family Lythraceae. It is native to the sub-tropical regions of the Himalayas and northern India, also to Southeast Asia, and southern China. The genus name honors Swedish botanist Magnus von Lagerström. It is an often multi-stemmed, deciduous tree with a wide spreading, flat topped, rounded, or even spike shaped open habit. The tree is a popular nesting shrub for songbirds and wrens.
Cercospora minima is a fungal plant pathogen. In the European pear, it is the cause of the disease known as late leaf spot. The geographic distribution includes India, South America, and the south-eastern United States.
Cercospora vicosae is a fungal plant pathogen. It causes leaf spot on cassava.
Phaeoramularia dissiliens is a fungal plant pathogen which causes cercospora leaf spot on grapes.
Pseudocercospora cannabina is a fungal plant pathogen infecting hemp. Cercospora cannabina was originally found on the leaves of Cannabis sativa in Uganda. Then in 1976, it was renamed as Pseudocercospora cannabina by mycologist Frederick Claude Deighton (1903-1992).
Pseudocercospora fuligena is a fungal plant pathogen infecting tomatoes. It is the cause of the fungal disease black leaf mold. The fungus was first described in the Philippines in 1938 and has since been reported in numerous countries throughout the tropics and subtropics. It was reported in the United States in 1974, initially in Florida, and has since been reported in non-tropical regions including Ohio and North Carolina.
Pseudocercospora mali is a fungal plant pathogen infecting Apple trees. It was originally found on the living leaves of Pyrus malus in Louisiana, USA.
Pseudocercospora puderi is a fungal plant pathogen infecting roses, including Rosa gallica. It was originally found in Florida, USA.
Pseudocercospora purpurea is a fungal plant pathogen that causes a leaf spot on the avocado. Species Cercospora purpurea was originally found on the leaves of Persea species in Georgia, USA in 1878. before the species was transferred to the Pseudocercospora genus in 1976.
Pseudocercospora vitis is a fungal plant pathogen which causes isariopsis leaf spot,.
Phytophthora katsurae is a plant pathogen. It was first isolated from chestnut (Castanea) trees in Japan. It has also been reported from Taiwan, Papua New Guinea, Australia and Korea.
Mycosphaerella musicola is a fungal plant pathogen, which is the causal agent of Yellow Sigatoka leaf spot disease on banana plants.
Pseudocercospora kaki is a fungal plant pathogen, who causes leaf spot of persimmon. It was originally found on leaves of Diospyros kaki in Taiwan. Some examples of other host species are Diospyros hispida, Diospyros lotus, Diospyros texana, and Diospyros tupru.
Pseudocercospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi. An anamorphic version of the genus Mycosphaerella, Pseudocercospora species are plant pathogens, including the causal agent of the so-called South American leaf blight of the rubber tree. The widely distributed genus is concentrated predominantly in tropical regions. Pseudocercospora was circumscribed by Italian-Argentinian botanist Carlos Luigi Spegazzini in 1910.

Velvet blight is a disease that affects the stems, branches, leaves, fruits or trunks of plants and trees. This disease is primarily caused by three fungal species from the genus Septobasidium: S. bogoriense, S. pilosum and S. theae.
Corynespora is a fungus genus. It is a member of the mitosporic Ascomycota, a heterogeneous group of ascomycotic fungi whose common characteristic is the absence of a sexual state.
