Pyrenopeziza plantaginis is reported from leaves of Plantago lanceolata from remnant native prairie sites in Benton Co., Oregon which harbor the endangered Taylor's checkerspot. The butterfly uses P. lanceolata as a pre-diapause larval host. The fungus is associated with a leaf blight of P. lanceolata and may impair restoration of populations of Taylor's checkerspot.
