Abstract
Recently some Gardenia plants were brought into the laboratory from a local greenhouse, bearing rough swollen cankers on the stem bases. Isolations were made from the infected tissues and a species of Phomopsis was readily obtained in pure culture. A similar canker disease of Gardenias has been reported occurring in greenhouses in California by Hansen and Scott (1) and in Ohio by Tilford (2) in 1934. The latter had not maintained a culture of his fungus, but a culture was received from Doctor Hansen with which to compare the organism isolated here.
