The species is traditionally known as Meria laricis.Meria was first described by Jean Paul Vuillemin (Vuill.) in France in 1896. [1] DNA analysis in the 1990s indicated its closest ancestor was the Rhabdocline genus, with the similarity significant enough for the genera of Meria, Hartigiella, and Rhabdocline to be combined as synonyms, with Rhabdocline chosen as the name of the merged genus.
Symptoms can overlap across causal agents, however differing signs and symptoms of certain pathogens can lead to the diagnosis of the type of leaf spot disease. Prolonged wet and humid conditions promote leaf spot disease and most pathogens are spread by wind, splashing rain or irrigation that carry the disease to other leaves. [2]
The most infected needles are prematurely shed by December. Because the infected needles are within the interior of the tree, the newer needles on the outer surface of the pines are flushed green and resistant to the disease. However, the premature shedding of needles in the interior can extend outwards leading to a loss in overall growth.

Powdery mildew is one of the easier plant diseases to identify, as the signs of the causal pathogen are quite distinctive. Infected plants display white powdery spots on the leaves and stems. [1]

The symptoms give the disease its name. The first signs of infection that can be seen are yellow and brown spots that develop on the living needles, [7] [8] which soon turn red. This infection starts on the base of the crown on older needles, which then turn a brownish red at the tip, while the rest of the needle remains green. [9]
