Description
Many Cystotheca species form dense, white or brown, distorting patches on the leaves of their hosts. Some species in this genus are also known to cause witch's-broom galls on their hosts. Cystotheca vignae, like most Erysiphaceae, is highly host-specific and is only known to infect Vigna. Other species of powdery mildew are also found on the same genus, such as Erysiphe vignae.
Taxonomy
The fungus was formally described in 1999 by M.S. Patil and Mahamulkar.[1]
