Abstract
Powdery mildew is reported for the first time on the Albany pitcher plant (Cephalotus follicularis). The plants originated from a nursery in Melbourne. The fungus was identified as Podosphaera xanthii using morphological characters and a rDNA ITS sequence. This is the first record of powdery mildew on the Cephalotaceae.
