“P. lateralis is a well-documented oomycete pathogen of Cupressaceae/Taxaceae; its primary host is Port-Orford-cedar, with Pacific yew as a lesser secondary host, consistent with the source quote and severity 'moderate'.”
- plant-pathologist · plausible
“Phytophthora lateralis is a well-documented oomycete pathogen of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Port-Orford-cedar) and secondarily affects Taxus brevifolia; the directional comparison in the source quote is biologically consistent.”
