said to include not only S. lavendulae but also sufficient to cite the work of Kuchayeva 



S. cinnamonensis and S. virginiae. (1958). She collected 22 cultures, freshly 



To indicate the confusion in classifying isolated or obtained from different labora- 



members of the Lavendulae series, it is tories and believed to belong to this group.
