• The conidial stage and chasmothecia of Golovinomyces orontii have been found in Germany on cultivated Limnanthes douglasii. A powdery mildew anamorph found in the Netherlands on Malva alcea agrees morphologically with the Oidium of the latter species as well. Golovinomyces sp. (anamorph) on Parthenium integrifolium is described and discussed. Erysiphe sp. has been found in Germany on Acer opalus, and E. magnifica is recorded from Germany and Switzerland on Magnolia spp. Oidium passiflorae is new to Switzerland. An Oidium morphologically agreeing with the anamorph of Podosphaera aphanis has recently been collected on Exacum macranthum cultivated in a greenhouse, and conidiophores and conidia of a species of Podosphaera sect. Sphaerotheca subsect. Magnicellulatae (P. fusca complex) on Phlox paniculata and Polemonium caeruleum have been found in Germany.
