Agonis flexuosa (After Dark) Since the discovery of myrtle rust in Tasmania in February 2015, three species of plants have been confirmed as being susceptible to the fungal disease; Lophomyrtus, Chilean guava and Agonis flexuosa. Numerous cultivars of this species have been released for general cultivation. Fungal Biology Reviews Part of Springer Nature.
