    That doesn't look like any pest I can identify on Psidium,
    however it does resemble a Eucalyptus pest common in
    Florida. Does this plant by chance sit near or under a
    Eucalyptus tree?

    No Eucalyptus around. Just sits alone in the corner of my yard. There is a banana tree on the other side of the wood fence in my neighbors yard. I was thinking this was some kind of fungus??? It's been very rainy here lately.

    That first picture looks like it exactly!! Thanks.
    Someone told me they thought it was Algai Leaf Spot. What do you think? If so, how do I correct it.

    "If so, how do I correct it."


    There's nothing to correct. It's cosmetic.
