Description

This is a very common organism that infects mahoe leaves (Melicytus ramiflorus) and appears to cause their premature shedding.

I've been wondering for a while what it is. It may not be fungal (I heard second hand once that it was bacterial). Does anyone know it

Association, leaf pathogen
