Abstract
THE exact systematic position of the vesicular arbuscular endophytes has been a topic of some controversy. In 1900 Dangeard1 proposed the genus Rhizophagus for these fungi, and considered that they were closely related to the Endogonaceae, but that they had lost the ability to form compound fructifications. Peyronel2 also considered that these endophytes closely resembled Endogone.
