FUSARIUM: OTHER SPECIES It is apparent that the old view, which held species of the genus Fusarium to be largely saprophytic, must be considerably modified. It is a genus which will well reward the student who may devote himself to it. Reed1 has recently de- scribed a disease of the ginseng caused by a spe- cies of Fusarium. The cultural characters of the organism isolated led him to believe that it is at least the same species as that producing the wilt of cot- ton and other plants, and although the ascigerous stage was not found, he re- ferred it to Neocosmospora vasinfecta (Atk.) Erw. Smith. A destructive stem blight (Figs. 151, 152) of the China aster, Callistephus hortensis Cass., has been attributed to a Fusarium, but a complete. Fig. 152.
