Summary

Samples ofPelargonium zonale with different virus symptoms were collected from several gardens in Madrid. Inoculation to test plants and electron microscopy of the samples were made.

2 viruses were isolate from the samples; by symptomatology, size of the virus particles, and distribution of the virions in the host cells, one of them (P1) was identified withPelargonium leaf curl and the other (P2) seems to be a previously undescribed virus. The virus P2 forms crystalline inclusions composed of virus particles in the vacuoles of the infected cells.
