A new species, Phyllosticta elongata, is described, replacing Phyllosticta vaccinii as the anamorph of Botryosphaeria (≡Guignardia) vaccinii on cranberry. These Phyllosticta species differ in morphology, colony characteristics, and pathogenicity. Phyllosticta vaccinii causes a fruit rot and leaf spot of cranberry in Massachusetts and New Jersey. Phyllosticta elongata is associated with latent infections of cranberry leaves and fruit, berry speckle, and is widely distributed.
