Abstract

The first record of peacock spot on olives in New South Wales, Australia, was made informally in 1947 but no herbarium specimen was deposited nor descriptions made. Subsequent descriptions of this disease in Australia have been sketchy and generally reported in extension articles for olive growers. We provide here a consolidated report and description of the occurrence of Fusicladium oleagineum on the lamina, veins and petioles of leaves, fruits and pedicels of fruits of olives (Olea europaea) in New South Wales.
