In 2021, Leaf brown spot of Japanese privet (Ligustrum japonicum) was observed in Changxi Avenue, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, China. 16 isolates from diseased leaves were obtained and their pathogenicity was confirmed. The pathogen was identified as Phyllosticta capitalensis based on the morphological characteristics, cultural appearance and molecular characteristics. To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. capitalensis causing leaf brown spot of L. japonicum in China.In 2021, the Leaf brown spot of the Japanese privet (Ligustrum japonicum) was observed in Changxi Avenue, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, China. 16 isolates from diseased leaves were obtained, and their pathogenicity was confirmed.
