This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Geranium pratense L. (Meadow Crane's‐Bill). The main topics are presented within the standard framework of the Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland : distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors, responses to environment, structure and physiology, phenology, floral and seed characters, herbivores and disease, history and conservation. Geranium pratense is a perennial gynodioecious forb of neutral grassland. In Britain and Ireland, it is particularly abundant on roadside verges, railway embankments, the margins of watercourses and woodland rides. It is generally intolerant of grazing and is absent or scarce in livestock‐grazed grassland. Geranium pratense is widespread in England, Wales and Scotland but is scarce in Ireland. It has an extensive native range in Europe and Asia, extending eastwards to Russia, north‐western China and Mongolia. It has been widely introduced to new sites within its native range and has been introduced to Canada, the USA and New Zealand. Geranium pratense usually occurs on free‐draining soils but also infrequently where drainage is impeded. The soils are often nutrient‐rich and weakly acidic to weakly alkaline. The underlying geology is usually non‐acidic sedimentary rocks or superficial deposits. Geranium pratense is protandrous and is pollinated by various insects of the orders Hymenoptera, Diptera and Lepidoptera, particularly bumblebees, solitary bees, hoverflies and butterflies. Eleven species of phytophagous insect have been recorded on G. pratense in Britain and Ireland. Geranium pratense has little or no capacity for vegetative spread. Primary seed dispersal is ballistic and seeds may be flung over distances of up to several metres. The species has a transient seed bank, that is germination typically takes place in the winter and spring after seed production, after the physically dormant seeds have become permeable. Seedling establishment is higher in vegetation‐free gaps than in undisturbed grassland vegetation. There has been no significant change in its distribution between the late 1950s and 2019, although since 2000, it has expanded its range, mainly via introductions, in northern and western Scotland, west Wales and in Ireland. Alien sites have increased markedly since the 1960s due to introductions from wildflower seed sowing and spread from gardens.

The presumably North American species Plasmopara wilsonii is present in Germany on the ornamental plant Geranium phaeum

Geranium phaeum is a popular ornamental plant in Europe. Downy mildew disease caused by Plasmopara was found on this plant once 50 years ago in Poland, but at that time attributed to the native species, Plasmopara pusilla. Here we report the recurrence of downy mildew disease on G. phaeum in Germany. Molecular phylogenetic analysis and morphological investigations revealed that the causal agent of the new outbreak is P. wilsonii, but not P. pusilla. Plasmopara wilsonii had previously been found only in the USA and Korea on various hosts of Geranium. The presence of P. wilsonii on G. phaeum in Europe should be closely monitored, as downy mildew caused by this species probably has the potential to become an important emerging disease on its ornamental host, especially, as also the native G. molle is able to sustain the pathogen.

“…Some groups of fungi have already been the subject of our critical revision, and noted discrepancies have been corrected. This work concerns fungi belonging to two orders -Taphrinales (Ascomycota, including Taphrinaceae and Protomycetaceae) [25] and Peronosporales (Oomycota) [26], including members of the Plasmopara genus published previously [27]. Species belonging to the other groups, i.e., ascomycetous fungi (Ascomycota; 29 species), and basidiomycetous fungi (Basidiomycota; 39 species) have also been taken into consideration.…”

The Tatra Mts are located on the border of two countries -Poland and Slovakia. It is a unique, extremely geobotanically-differentiated region, protected by law and listed on the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve List as an internationally recognized area. Due to the high nature values of the Tatra Mts, varied research, including mycological, has been intensively conducted on this area for many years. The first data on the microscopic fungi of the Tatras comes from to the second half of the nineteenth century and spans more than 150 years. Currently, the critical list of microfungi is being prepared concerning species published up to date from the whole Tatra range (the Polish and Slovakian parts), and also the adjacent areas. During detailed study of the available mycological literature, many erroneous citations of the original data or incorrect interpretations of these records were noted. Often, this faulty data was also reproduced in subsequent publications.The aim of this study was to correct some of the data published in the cited literature. In the paper, 68 fungal species were mentioned, including 29 species of Ascomycota and 39 species of Basidiomycota. Additionally, some information about the plants -the fungal hosts -has also been corrected.
