infestation. Malaya. 

 Christie, J. R. (Division of Nematology, Bureau of Plant Industry. 1939): 



Korean lespedeza, L. stipulacea, found heavily infested; plants yellow 



and stunted, a good field indicator. Virginia. 

 Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station 1936 (83): Both annual 



and perennial lespedezas are too susceptible for tobacco rotations; "not 



always seriously affected." 

 Watson and Goff 1937 (258): Rated as No. 27 in order of susceptibility 



[from okra, No. 1, to corn, No. 46]. Florida. 

 Whittle and Drain 1935 (263): Annual lespedeza "seldom infested or 



highly resistant." Tennessee (?). 



Lettuce, see Lactuca.

Collins 1937 (41) '. No signs of nematode attack. Rhodesia. 

 Ligustrum ovalifolium, California privet. (M, N, S) 



Barker and Neal 1924 (11): Infestation apparently general on California 

 privet throughout Mississippi; "other varieties in the same nursery have 

 not been found to be affected." 

 Bessey 1911 (16): Nematodes not abundant and no injury observed. 

 Hume 1937: 67 Extremely susceptible. Florida. 



Whittle and Drain 1935 (263): Infestation heavy (4 seasons). 

 Tennessee. 



Ligustrum quihoui, Quihou privet. 



Hume 1937: 68 The only resistant species. Florida. 

 Lilium spp., lily. (C) 



Weber 1925: 69 Many plants of Easter lily, L. longiflorum, killed before

Goff 1936 (96): Infestation to very light on 19 plants, light to moderate 

 on 6 plants (1 winter test) . Florida. 



Linum usitatissimum, flax, linseed. 



Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station 1938 (185): Tests with seed 

 flax have given yields such as to make it a strong possibility for use in 

 future rotations. [Although this report was included under the heading 

 of "Control methods for nematodes," the particular crop test was made, 

 according to A. E. Gross, the investigator, for purely agronomic con- 

 siderations and not in nematode-infested land.] 



Infestation has been reported by Krishna Ayyar (132) and injury by 

 Bessey (16).

Bessey 1911 (16): Nematodes not abundant and no injury observed. 

 Goff 1936 (96) : No infestation found (50 plants, 2 winter tests); infesta-
