Fusarium aurantiacum Cd. 

 Summer crookneck squash. Cucurbit a pepo L. Menands,

 herbarium specimens. The four other species are B o t r y t i s 

 cinerea 'Pers., Sporodesmium pluriseptatum (K. 

 & H.) Pk., Plioma lagenariae (Thuem.) Sacc. and 

 \'olutella cucurbitina Pk. The last three species appear 

 to develop most freely on the warts of the squash.
