ABSTRACT
During mycological field surveys in 2021, infected leaves of Lespedeza tomentosa were gathered from District Swat and Battagram, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The infection symptoms seemed to be white powder on foliage with numerous tiny blackened to brownish round ascomata. The causal agent was recognized as Erysiphe diffusa based on molecular and morpho-anatomical analyses. This is the first report of Erysiphe diffusa on Lespedeza tomentosa from Pakistan.
