Abstract
ASCIGEROUS stages have not been established heretofore for either of the Fusarium pathogens of pea, Pisum sativum L., that is, for F. oxysporum f. pisi (Linf.) Snyd. and Hans., the cause of a vascular wilt, or F. solani f. pisi (Jones) Snyd. and Hans., the cause of a cortical foot and root disease. Evidence is presented in this communication that the ascigerous stage of the latter pathogen has been discovered and belongs to the genus Hypomyces. Although perfect stages are now known for several formæ in F. solani, none has yet been established for any member of the species F. oxysporum.
