SUMMARY Two viruses occur widely in lupins in Britain. Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV), of which two strains were isolated, was found mainly in named Russell varieties. Lupin mottle virus (LMV), a previously undescribed strain of the bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) common pea mosaic virus (CPMV) complex, was found more commonly in seedling lupins. Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was isolated once. The AMV strains were differentiated by their reaction in Phaseolus vulgaris ; they were serologically closely related. Both AMV and LMV were aphid transmitted but not transmitted in lupin seed. LMV was distantly serologically related to both BYMV and CPMV. It cross‐protected against BYMV but not against CPMV and it differed from both these viruses in some host reactions. The CMV isolate from lupins was similar to type CMV. It was transmitted both mechanically and by aphid, easily from cucumber to cucumber, but with difficulty from cucumber to lupin.
