S ummary . An account is given of an apparently undescribed virus disease affecting cultivated crucifers and other plants. The virus is sap‐transmissible and has been so transmitted to young cabbages and also to various members of the Solanaceae. On Nicotiana glutinosa it produces a disease which is usually fatal. Preliminary tests with the virus differentiate it from the viruses of tomato spotted wilt and cabbage mosaic.
