- Bletilla striata is a perennial herb from the orchid family used as an ornamental plant and in traditional Chinese medicine across East Asia.
- In April 2023, a severe disease resembling gray mold affected about 20% of B. striata plants in Anhui province, China, showing symptoms like brown spots on leaves that eventually led to leaf death.
- Researchers isolated a pathogen from infected plants, identifying it as Botrytis cinerea, characterized by cottony growth on culture, grayish conidiophores, and black sclerotia.
