Comments
Hall, G. (1989b) indicates that the pest was at that time recently found in New Zealand.

However, the New Zealand NPPO indicates that the pest is not present.

Constantinescu & Thines (2010): the downy mildew found in Australia and New Zealand on Arctotheca and Arctotis is thought to be caused by a new species, Plasmopara majewski.
