FLAGELLATES OF LATICIFEROUS PLANTS

Abstract
12 spp. of plants are newly reported as hosts of latex flagellates. Photographs of the flagellates from different species are given in the text. The incidence of infestation was variable in Chamaesyce spp., but individuals were found infested in all examined spp. of this genus. Incidence of infestation was found variable with habitat, soil, and weather conditions. Culture for 30 days was obtained in a medium injected into live coconuts and rapid multiplication occurred in a similar medium to which unsterile fresh Hevea latex was added.
