A new undescribed yellows-type disease ofGypsophila paniculata L. was found. Since a stunted growth is the predominant symptom the disease has been termed stunting. Electron micrographs of ultrathin sections revealed numerous mycoplasma-like organisms in diseased phloem tissues. Attempts to maintain the diseasedGypsophila plants for further investigation of this disease failed for the present in spite of all applied modifications in nutrient media.
