‘Aspermy’ is suggested for the name of a virus disease of tomato apparently distinct from any previously described. The virus was transmitted by Myzus persicae from infected to healthy tobacco plants, but not from or to other hosts. Some properties of the virus are described together with the symptoms it causes in various hosts.
