Abstract
A fungus associated with the leaf spot of German iris (Iris germanica) was identified as Cladosporium iridis based on the morphological characteristics of the condiophores and conidia. A conidial suspension of the fungus was artificially inoculated onto a healthy unwounded plant, proving its pathogenicity. This is the first record of this disease from Korea.
