SUMMARY1 F. Scirpi Lamb, et Fautr., previously described in its pseudopionnotal form, occurs in a mycelial form also; the cultural characters and method for conversion of the forms are given. 2 This variety is designated pallens to distinguish it from a new variety designated nigrans. also occurring on cereals. The relationship of the two varieties is discussed. 3 Both varieties are associated with Fusarium disease in cereals, but are of little economic importance except when the variety pallens prevails on the ears of wheat and barley; infected grains used for seed, if still viable, give less vigorous plants and reduced yield of corn.
