See Xiphinema americanum
(sensu lato vs. sensu stricto - the species concept - Lamberti/ McKenry/Brown
and Trudgill discussions (Plant Disease, 1987); - Griesbach
contribution - Ph.D. dissertation, UCD). Griesbach and Maggenti
synonymized X. californicum with X. americanum but
the synonymy was recently rejected.
Confusion still reigns!... McKenry and Lamberti toured the
Western US collecting populations in 1999 - more news soon.
