Abstract
FOOT rot disease of flax caused by a species of Phoma was first recorded in Ireland by Pethybridge et al.1 in 1921. Since then it has been noted to occur consistently in the Northern Ireland crop although the responsible species of the parasite still awaits identification. A review of the literature indicates that Phoma has been reported as attacking the flax crop on the Continent of Europe since the 1890's, and, more recently, in Australia2, the causal organism being variously referred to as P. exigua, P. herbarum and P. linicola.
