This fungus, Dr. Cooke states,2- was first met with in

Switzerland, and it bids fair to be an exceedingly
troublesome pest of the Carnation, especially when the
latter is grown under glass. This species is not
mentioned in Plowright's Monograph, as its introduction
was subsequent to the publication of that excellent
work. It is described by Dr. Cooke.5
