Notes

Birch (1937b) listed it as a facultative parasite causing damping-off of seedlings. He stated that it had been isolated from living seeds of Cupressus ntacrocarpa and Agathis australis. He also noted that it caused stem and branch lesions on cypress trees of all ages. Gilmour (1966a) considered it a weak parasite of seedlings and suggested that it is a secondary invader to the damping-off fungi.
