Powdery mildew fungus in lilacs is what is being identified by the scientific, Latin or binomial name of Microsphaera syringae.

The fungus makes its presence known by white spots that form on the plant's leaves and stems. Its presence is encouraged by the plant's preference for moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils. At the same time, though, lilacs respond well to the mildly drying out effects of full sun and dislike waterlogging. So they may end up with yearly bouts of powdery mildew that show up late in the growing season and aren't serious.

Fungicides such as potassium bicarbonate, neem oil or lime sulfur are effective if the gardener wants to take action and if the label instructions are followed exactly.
