The same regularity is to be observed in many other plants to other
diseases. E .g .
Plasmodiophora brassicae
does not distinguish even such diffe
rent genera of
Cruciferae,
as
Barbarea, Arabis, Lepidium, Raphanus
, etc...
Hence it is quite, natural that, notwithstanding many attempts to find
'varieties of cabbage really immune to this fungus, such have not been found
and cannot be found.
Sclerotinia trifoliorum
infects not only
TrifoUum,
but
Medicago, Onob-
rychis
and other genera of
Papilionaceae
, hence there are no varieties of
clover immune to this fungus.
On the other hand many species of parasitic fungi, belon
ging to
Perenosporaceae, Erysiphaceae, Uredinaceae
are narrowly specia
lised, hence the existence of varieties immune to these parasites.

Kirchner in his papers (the last of 1916) indicates a number of varieties of wheat
immune to stinking smut. But many of these immune varieties proved to be susceptible
in Hocke’s experiments, as well as "in the author’s experiments (e. g. T. monocoecumr
T. durum var. affine) and the author doubts the immunity (at least physiological) of the
other varieties of Prof. Kirchner. The method of infection used by Prof. Kirchner is-
not irreprovable.
