Phyllactinia angulata is a plant pathogen infecting chestnut, beech, oak and elm trees in North America with powdery mildew[3]. Collections on elm were segregated into a new variety, Phyllactinia angulata var. ulmi.

Reports of this species infecting pistachio[4] are probably instead referrable to Phyllactinia pistaciae, described in 2003[5].
