In Japan and China, Podosphaera pseudofusca causes powdery mildew in Fatoua villosa. During a taxonomic revision of Korean powdery mildew fungi, isolates newly collected from F. villosa were studied. Through morphological examination and molecular phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer region and large subunit gene of rDNA, the powdery mildew fungus was identified as Podosphaera xanthii. In this study, we propose the merging of P. pseudofusca sensu Braun into the P. xanthii complex. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of Podosphaera powdery mildew on F. villosa in Korea.
