Graphiola Leaf Spot
Figure 4. The brown spots are not early symptoms of Graphiola leaf spot, but are symptoms of potassium deficiency. Photo by M. L. Elliott.
Graphiola Leaf Spot
Figure 3. Palm leaflets with numerous sori and emerging filaments (look like tiny strings) with spores. There are no leaf spot symptoms, only the sori of the fungus. Photo by M. L. Elliott.
Graphiola Leaf Spot
Figure 5. A leaf affected by both Graphiola leaf spot and Stigmina leaf spot. Signs of Graphiola phoenicis are the small back bodies (sori), many with filaments emerging from the sori. Stigmina palmivora symptoms are the large brown spots with dark edges and darker but flat centers. In some cases, a G. phoenicis sorus is superimposed upon the S. palmivora leaf spot. Photo by M. L. Elliott.

Leaf Spots and Leaf Blights
Figure 2. Leaf spot exhibitng brown or black centers with yellow halos. Spots are randomly scattered on the leaf tissue. Photo by T. K. Broschat.
Leaf Spots and Leaf Blights
Figure 1. The initial lesions of this leaf spot disease are pin point water-soaked appearing spots. As the spot expands, the center becomes gray with water-soaked edges As the lesions continue to expand, a yellow halo may be observed. Coalescing of expanding lesions are observed until large areas of blighted tissue result. Photo by M. L. Elliott.

Leaf Spots and Leaf Blights
Figure 3. Leaf spot that begins as a black spot with distinct yellow halo. As the lesion expands or lesions coalesce, the affected area becomes a leaf blight and the center becomes a gray color. Photo by T. K. Broschat.

Leaf Spots and Leaf Blights
Figure 6. A leaf spot symptomatic leaf segment of the leaf in Figure 1 was placed under high humidity. The result was growth of the fungus from some of the spots. Note fungal growth is only associated with the leaf spot symptom and not with the healthy green leaf tissue. Photo by M. L. Elliott.
Leaf Spots and Leaf Blights
Figure 5. Spots are initially black with no halos. As the spot expands, the center becomes tan and is outlined by a brown to brownish-black edge, but no yellow halo. The leaflet in the lower-left corner has large areas of necrotic tissue. The leaf spot is superimposed on iron deficiency symptoms. Photo by M. L. Elliott.
Lethal Yellowing

Lethal Yellowing
Figure 1. Cocos nucifera in various stages of lethal yellowing disease development. Healthy palms are in the background. Palm in foreground is in early to mid-stages of the disease. Palm on the left has died but dead leaves are still attached to the trunk. Trunks without canopies died previously from LY. Photo by N. A. Harrison, University of Florida.

Figure 6. Spear leaf of this Phoenix sylvestris has collapsed and is hanging down out of the canopy on the right side of the trunk. Very few of the oldest leaves have discolored. Photo by M. L. Elliott.
Lethal Yellowing
Figure 5. Leaves of a Phoenix canariensis with lethal yellowing do not turn yellow, but are various shades of reddish-brown to dark brown or gray. The spear leaf had died on this palm weeks prior to when this photo was taken. Photo by N. A. Harrison., University of Florida
