Abstract
IN the course of his studies on the sugary disease of Sorghum vulgare caused by Sphacelia Sorghi McRae, Ajrekar1 recorded three other wild grasses, namely, Andropogon caricosus var. molicomous, Ischœmum pilosum and Pennisetum alepecuros as having the Sphacelial stages of an ergot. Sclerotial stages were observed by him only on the last-named host, and he pointed out that heavy infestation by a species of Cerebella competed with the formation of sclerotial stages in other cases.
