Abstract
STEVENSON1 recorded bacterial symbiosis in some New Zealand plants, Singh2 noticed bacteria in stems, leaves and flowers of a number of angiospermic plants in South India, and Heimbeck3 recently reported the occurrence of L forms of bacteria in wilting pea, which are filtrable through membranes that retain the smallest bacteria.
