SUMMARY A new and pleomorphic species of Chlorosarcinopsis from a Connecticut cornfield soil is described. Two populations were observed and cultured. One produced mostly smooth colonies on agar and formed few packets; the second produced large percentages of rough colonies on agar and frequently formed packets. In older agar cultures numerous Hormotila‐ like colonies can be observed in both strains.
