Cercospora liquidambaris is a fungal plant pathogen in the southeastern United States which causes a leaf spot disease in Loropetalum chinense, commonly known as the Chinese fringe flower.[1] The fungus was mistakenly confused with Pseudocercospora liquidambaris, which infects Liquidambar formosana, but has been reclassified as C. liquidambaris until its phylogenic relationships are more clearly established.[1][2]
