Introduction

(Kunkel (1926), (1931)4 recorded for the virus of New York aster yellows an extensive host range of 184 species of plants in 151 genera belonging to 38 families. He found 12 species of naturally infected weeds in 4 families, as follows:

Compositae, composite family:

Horseweed, Erigeron canadensis L.

Erigeron speciosus (Lindl.) DC.

Galinsoga, Galinsoga parviflora Cav.

Helenium autumnale L.

Helenium nudiflorum Nutt.

Fall dandelion, Leontodon autumnalis L.

Black-eyed Susan, Rudbeckia hirta L.

Perennial sow thistle, Sonchus arvensis L.

Common sow thistle, Sonchus oleraceus L.

Plantaginaceae, plantago family:

Common plantain, Plantago major L.

Rosaceae, rose family:

Rough cinquefoil, Potentilla moospeliensis L.

Umbelliferae, parsley family:

Wild carrot, Douous Oarota L.

(Ogilvie (1927a), (1927b) reported aster yellows (strain not specified) to be common in the Bermuda Islands and observed that several wild plants were affected, the commonest being common sow thistle, Sonchus oleraceus.

(Severin (1929), (1938) determined the following 2 species to be hosts of the California aster-yellows virus:

Plantaginaeeae, plantago family:

Common plantain, Plantago major L.

Umbelliferae, parsley family:

Poison hemlock, Conium maculatum L.
