Notes: On *Gladiolius sp. cult. (new record).
Conidial stage of this fungus has been included in previous records of Botrytis cinerea. Sclerotia similar to those described for Sclerotinia draytoni have been found on Gladiolus corms associated with a dry rot. Further work is necessary to sort out the Sclerotinia sp. and Botrytis spp. associated with Gladiolus and other members of the Iridaceae.
