The Perfect Stage of Botrytis squamosa Walker

Abstract

IN mid-November, 1945, two cultures were made on Dox's agar of Botrytis conidia from conidiophores produced on onion leaves. These had been sent by Mr. D. E. Green of the Royal Horticultural Society, Wisley, as typical specimens showing symptoms of attack by Botrytis squamosa Walker. Apothecia were observed in one culture on January 7, 1946, and more were produced during the period January 7-February 15. The other culture also produced a few apothecia during the period January 20-February 10.
