Abstract
FOR the past twenty-five years the identity of the nematode causing disease in bulbous irises has been in doubt. Investigations carried out in this Department during the past two years have proved conclusively that the potato tuber eelworm, Ditylenchus destructor Thorne, 1945, also infests bulbous irises belonging to Dutch, English and Spanish varieties. A full account of the investigations is being published elsewhere.
