Morphological characteristics in the anamorphic states were described in three species of powdery mildew fungi, Microsphaera akebiae, M. picrasmae, and M. schizandrae, which were parasitic on Akebia quinata, Picrasma quassioides, and Schizandra chinensis, respectively. All species were flexuous in foot-cells of conidiophores, producing conidia singly on conidiophores, devoid of fibrosin bodies in conidia, and producing germ tubes on the end of conidia.
