Abstract
Describes three Epichloe (fungus) species found in natural symbioses with native grasses including Glyceria striata. The Epichloe species were host-specific. Seeds of G. striata were not infected by E. glyceriae but the fungus may prevent maturation of G. striata's inflorescence.Suggested Citation
