Phyllactinia oemleriae is a species of powdery mildew in the family Erysiphaceae. It is found in North America, where it affects the genus Oemleria.
Description
The fungus forms a weak, very thin, often smooth coating on the undersides of leaves. P. oemleriae, like most Erysiphaceae, is highly host-specific and infects only the genus Oemleria. It is the only powdery mildew species found on this host.[1]
Taxonomy
The fungus was formally described in 2025 by Michael Bradshaw and James Kameron Mitchell.
