The Bullseye Leaf Spot

''Phyllosticta minima'' is a fungus of the division Ascomycota which causes purple-bordered leaf spot, a largely cosmetic disease that infects maple trees. It grows on living and fallen leaves, creating tan, ovular lesions 1⁄4 inch in diameter and ringed with 'purple' or black spores.
