Abstract
IN a recent communication1, Dr. E. W. Buxton reported the discovery of mature perithecia in a nutritionally deficient mutant isolate of Fusarium oxysporum Schl. forma pisi (Lindf.) S. and H. after ultra-violet irradiation. These perithecia were shown to be the perfect stage of this particular isolate and were identified as Nectria haematococca Berk. and Br. (= Hypomyces solani Rke. and Berth. emend. S. and H.).
