It produces its micro- and macro- spores (sickle shaped) as well as chlamydospores which according to Wollenweber86 are true characteristics of the genus Fusarium. The fungus has been grown in pure culture (Fig. 32) and on different media for two years and no perfect stage has ever appeared. Unless further studies prove differently it seems that the present Fusarium is a new species and the name Fusarium lathyri n. sp. is tentative

A description of the fungus follows: Sporodochia slightly erumpent to superficial on the host, but not always present on culture media. Macroconidia sickle-shaped, slight- ly curved and fitting into the section Martiella of Wollenweber, 2 to 4 septate, the majority being three septate, ;— Microconidia elliptical to oval *—^. Chlamydospores spherical, thick walled and spinulate when old, * borne singly or in chains of twos, threes and sometimes in fours.
