SUMMARY Cocksfoot mottle virus (CfMV) and cynosurus mottle virus (CyMV) had similar, but not identical, host‐ranges within the Gramineae. Each infected fifteen out of forty‐one species tested, considerably fewer than phleum mottle virus (PMV), but unlike PMV both infected Triticum aestivum (wheat), causing a lethal mottle. The species most useful for differentiating CfMV, CyMV and PMV are listed. Some species appear especially susceptible to virus infection.
