- Abstract
In 2002, several plants of Hebe x franciscana cv. Variegata, grown in a public garden near Rome, Italy, showed wilting and severe stunting. Symptoms on affected plants started with yellowing and browning of the lower leaves, followed by wilting of one or more branches. Stunting and death of plants were sometimes observed. Longitudinal sections of stems showed discoloration of vascular tissues extending from the base upwards. Isolations were attempted directly from discolored vascular tissues on potato dextrose aga rose. Fungal colonies were consistently obtained and identified as Verticillium dahliae on the basis of the morphology of conidia, conidiophores and microsclerotia.
