Scab of Pyracantha, Loquat, Toyon, and Kageneckia. Robert D. Raabe, Professor, Department of Plant Pathology, University of California, Berkeley 94720; M. W. Gardner, Professor Emeritus, Department of Plant Pathology, University of California, Berkeley 94720. Phytopathology 62:914-916. Accepted for publication 21 February 1972. DOI: 10.1094/Phyto-62-914.

Typical scab symptoms resulting from infection by a species of Spilocaea were found on plants of Kageneckia oblonga. Cross inoculations with Spilocaea conidia from toyon, loquat, pyracantha, and kageneckia were successful. Because of this, and because the conidia and conidiophores are morphologically similar, the scab fungus on these plants should be known as Spilocaea pyracanthae (Otth) v. Arx.
