I found many leaves like this on an Azalea I have since 9 years
this is the first time I see such a stuff
could someone tell me what it is a how to cure it?
the leaves are dark green and specked with round paler green dots ,
it is not chlorosis some stains are 1 mm diameters others 3 mm
diameters sometimes separated sometimes united in clusters
Thanks

The link wouldn't work for me for some reason, but judging by the
description it could possibly be azalea lace but.
Check under the leaves and if you see small "fly" type insects, whose wings
look almost like lacework (and seethrough) that would be lace bug.
If so you can spray with a systemic insecticide. I know Rogor is one here in
Australia, you may have it over there. If not ask at a nursery. Just watch
it as it is pretty potent to humans. The leaves will not recover if it's
lace bug, and it may loose affected foliage, but it will come back.
Good luck
