Importance and distribution
Uwebraunia comprises six species known on Cupressaceae, Musaceae, Myrtaceae, Proteaceae and Rosaceae. Uwebraunia has been reported from Asia (India, Indonesia), Australia, Europe (Netherlands, Spain), South Africa and the United States (North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin). Uwebraunia species are pathogenic and cause leaf spot diseases on trees and fly speck diseases on fruits (Li et al. 2012).
