Abstract

Powdery mildews in lowland central Burma were collected, identified and classified following a traditional taxonomic approach. They totalled 54 on 31 host-plant families and belonged to the genera Blumeria, Erysiphe (Uncinula), Golovinomyces, Leveillula, Phyllactinia, Podosphaera (Sphaerotheca), Oidiopsis and Oidium. A host index is included. Collections are held in Herbariums IMI and UC (= LAM) and also on deposit at the then Institute of Agriculture, Mandalay, Burma.

Keywords: biodiversity, biotrophs, Erysiphaceae, polycyclic diseases, systematics.
