　Note： The specimen examined is mainly occupied by the pycnidia and conidia of a Septoria. Only a few fascicles of conidiophores of this Pseudocercospora species were found intermingled between the pycnidia. However, the conidia of this fungus, being relatively wider and blunt at the ends, is distinguishable from the conidia of the Septoria which are pointed at the apex, long tapered to a refractive hilum at the base, relatively narrower in width (about 1-1.5 μm), and uniform in length (av. 50 μm). Sawada described the symptom as: leaf spots suborbicular to elliptical, 2-6 mm wide, at first merely yellow discoloration, then turn dark brown. Since the specimen is simultaneously parasitized by the Septoria and this fungus, we omitted the description of the symptom in the text.
