Micheli (1729) designated B.cinerea Pers.: Fr. As lectotype of Botrytis. Persoon (1801) and Fries (1832) approved the genus. Later on, many species were described in the genus. Unger (1933) built Ramularia and treated R.didyma Unger as type species. This volume adopts Hennebert (1963,1973), Ellis (1971) and Braun (1988 a,b) classification systems for Botrytis and Ramularia, respectively. Additionally, a few species are modified based on the author’s viewpoint.
