Abstract
IN a paper read to the Imperial Botanical Conference held in London this year, I have described a variegated condition of a number of Graminaceous plants, characterised by chlorosis of the leaves in narrow broken stripes parallel to the veins and a reduction in the power of growth of the plant. In maize it has been recognised for many years as a factor limiting production in the coastal and midland areas of Natal, and was described as long ago as 1901 by Fuller (First Report, Government Entomologist, Natal). Similar conditions are found in sugar cane and a number of other grasses.
