Abstract
DR. M. J. THIRUMALACHAR'S note1 on bud rot of areca palms in Mysore is interesting; but is likely to add to the confusion in the literature of bud-rot. Nowell2 was careful to separate red ring disease of coconuts from bud-rot. Bud-rot in the eastern tropics, hitherto fortunately never confused with eelworm attack, is due to Phytophthora, and in Mysore, Dr. L. C. Coleman3 and I4 have found that the fungus produces bud-rot of areca palms. Budrot of palms has also been ascribed to Bacillus coli. It is only secondary in red ring.
