Erysiphe chloranthi is the only powdery mildew species (Erysiphaceae) found on Chloranthus plants belonging to the family Chloranthaceae. This species has long been known to be present in Japan and Korea and is hence regarded as endemic to East Asia. Examination of seven Korean specimens revealed detailed morphological characteristics of the holomorph of this species. Short foot-cells of conidiophores are proposed as key characteristics that differ from related species. Sequences of the internal transcribed spacer regions and large subunit gene retrieved from four Korean samples confirm the phylogenetic position of this species within the Erysiphe aquilegiae complex. These data may help elucidate the identity of this species and clarify the ambiguity of the E. aquilegiae complex.

The pathogenic fungi associated with blight of leaf and stem in peony were leaf spot (Alternaria sp.), powdery mildew (Erysiphe aquilegiae) and rust (Cronartium flaccidum). The infection of leaf spot and powdery mildew begins from late April to midMay and rust was infected in early June. Blight time of aerial part in peony started from late May and the ratio of blight on leaf and stem was more than 50% in late Aug. Yields of root by the incidence time of blight of leaf and stem were 69.1% in late June, 65.4% in late July and $87.6{\sim}92.7$% in August and September. The number of root of more than 10mm in root diameter blighted in late June and July was much lower than in August, but the paeoniflorin content in the former was much higher than the latter.
