SUMMARY A previously unrecorded virus with isometric particles 27 nm diameter, has been isolated from Lolium perenne L. and Cynosurus cristatus L. from Eire and from C. cristatus from Yorkshire, and named lolium mottle virus (LMV). The virus could be inoculated into cultivars of wheat, oats, barley and rye, and Lagurus ovatus L. It is symptomless in Lolium multifloriim Lam. and Phleumpratense L. Some properties of LMV are reported. The virus, though readily sap transmissible, was not transmitted by two Oulema species (Coleoptera) or by three species of aphids (Hemiptera).
