PEANUT DISEASES - 313 



original reference. Abstracting journals also note many fungi as "on pea- 

 nuts." These fungi, which do not seem to be associated with important 

 peanut disorders, are best classified as "miscellaneous." To make a de- 

 tailed listing of such fungi would probably confuse rather than clarify. The 

 reports on miscellaneous fungi of peanuts fall into three main classes : 



(A) Saprophytic fungi included in results of general mycological 

 surveys. 



(B) Fungi suspected of being parasitic on peanuts but which have 

 not yet merited or received further investigation. Examples of this would 

 be the Phoma sp. noted on rotting peanut stems in Alabama in 1914 ( 168) 

 and the V erticillium sp. found in wilting peanuts in Australia in 1945 

 (99). 



(C) Fungi described as new species. For example: Ascochyta 

 arachidis Woron. listed on "dying peanut leaves" in the Caucasus in 

 1924 (173).
