Two severe leaf spot diseases were observed on Arabian jasmine and Elaeagnus × ebbingei in Japan. Fungal isolates were obtained from acervuli on these diseased leaves. Based on morphological and ITS sequence data, the isolates were identified as Colletotrichum tropicale on Arabian jasmine and C. siamense on Elaeagnus × ebbingei. This is the first report of Arabian jasmine and Elaeagnus × ebbingei causing Anthracnose in Japan.
