A New Anthracnose Attacking Certain Cereals and 



Grasses. 



By A. D. Selby and Thos. F. Manns. 



(Abstract.) 

 This paper states briefly the results of culture investigations of a 

 fungus described as Colletotrichum cereale, n. sp. This has been found to 

 be present over the State of Ohio, attacking the spikes, culms and sheaths 

 of rye, the culms and sheaths of wheat, oats, chess, orchard-grass, timothy, 

 red-top and blue-grass. Upon the cereals the attack is timed to the ap- 

 proaching maturity of the plant and produces, marked shriveling of the 

 grain. The behavior of the fungus on different media is stated, and dif- 

 ferent illustrations are included. It will be published in bulletin No. 203 

 of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station.
