Abstract
Phytophthora arenaria A. Rea, M. Stukely & T. Jung, has been isolated in Western Australia from kwongan heathland stands since the early 1980s (Burgess et al. 2009, Rea et al. 2011), but was misidentified as P. citricola. Phytophthora arenaria has been isolated exclusively from the northern sand plains and was named based on its association with sandy soils. Most isolates were associated with dead or dying Banksia spp. (Proteaceae). When active, symptomatic plants are scattered in the landscape. However, the overall impact of this species within the natural environment is low due to the low rainfall in the region and the sporadic nature of the disease.
