Abstract
THE shrubby genus Coriaria is one of the eight non-legume Angiospermous genera known to have the capacity of forming root nodules in response to infection from the soil by a symbiotic organism. In some instances, in confirmation of earlier work, the nodules of most of these genera have been shown by my collaborators and me1,2 to be nitrogen-fixing, but, despite efforts extending over several years, I have not yet raised nodulated plants of Coriaria in culture, owing to an apparent difficulty in securing infection of the roots under artificial conditions. However, the results of Kataoka3 make it probable that Coriaria nodules also are nitrogen-fixing.
