Abstract
Host symptoms and morphology of the endo-and epibiotic stages of a Physoderma on Phalaris arundinacea L. are described. It is considered identical with a Physoderma on Agropyron repens earlier described. Both are referred to Physoderma gerhardti Schroeter found in 1883 by Gerhardt from near Liegnitz, Schlesien.
