The site names, descriptions, year of sampling, and GPS coordinates are given. Approximate numbers of healthy and diseased individuals are listed with the number of plants sampled families for seeds and fungal spores, respectively, given in parentheses. Asterisks indicate source populations for seeds used in the inoculation experiment. Identified Microbotryum species are abbreviated as M. s.-i. for M. silenes-inflatae and M. l. for M. lagerheimii.
