S ummary Two kinds of intracellular inclusions in solanaceous plants infected with severe etch virus are described. One occurs in the cytoplasm and is similar to the X‐bodies found in many other plant virus diseases. The other occurs only in the nuclei. These intranuclear inclusions appear to be crystalline, have the form of thin rectangular plates, and resemble the inclusions described in the polyhedral disease of silkworms more than any other type of previously recognized virus‐inclusion.
