Abstract

In August 2014, leaf spots were found on Polygonatum odoratum in Jilin Province in China. The fungus isolated from the diseased leaves was identified as Colletotrichum spaethianum based on pathogenicity, morphology and molecular characterization. The fungus was re-isolated from lesions that developed on leaves after inoculation. This report is the first of a disease on P. odoratum caused by C. spaethianum.
