Phytoplasma australasia (sic) White et al. 1998
Nomenclatural History
The species Phytoplasma australasia was originally described by White et al. 1998. Oren et al. corrected this name from Candidatus (sic) to Candidatus .

This taxon is not retained, because it is too similar to Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia. (See Firrao et al. 2004).
