A lexopoulos , C onstantine J. (State U. Iowa, Iowa City.) The laboratory cultivation of Stemonitis. Amer. Jour. Bot. 46(2): 140‐142. Illus. 1959.—The cultivation of a species of Stemonitis , probably S. flavogenita , in laboratory culture is reported here for the first time. The organism completed its entire life cycle on artificial media from spore to spore, in the presence of contaminating bacteria, in 36 days. The plasmodium, characteristically different from those of the Physarales, is described and illustrated.
