Description

Abundant - though mostly in the overwintering grey pustule phase on planted Lophomyrtus xralphii and L. bullata cv. hedge (>40 specimens). Interestingly the Lophomyrtus xralphii were the most severely infected - and mostly now dead, the L. bullata cv. less damaged. Site phoned into MPI by Landowner.

Now BEFORE someone like say Stephen Thorpe decide to have a go at me for obscuring this record, I have done so at the landowners request. This location is on private property and the landowner was very worried about the location becoming public.
