Abstract

Ononis spinosa was collected from rangelands of Gamasiab area. This plant was infected by powdery mildew. One hundred of any fungal organs including clistothecia, asci, ascospores and conidia, were micrometried by the calibrated Olympus BH2 microscope. All characters of the organs were recorded and drawn using a drawing tube. The species was further identified as Leveillula taurica using Braun key (1979). This is the first report of the fungus on Ononis spinosa from Iran.
