A crown rot of statice (Limonium sinuatum) plants was observed in Manatee County, FL. A nonfluorescent, aerobic, gram-negative bacterium was isolated. Upon artificial inoculation, symptoms similar to those in the field were reproduced. On the basis of biochemical and physiological tests, the bacterium was identified as Pseudomonas caryophylliA rot affecting the crown and leaves of statice (Limonium spp.) plants has been observed for several years in field plantings in Florida, with losses estimated as high as 10% in a planting. Some of the symptoms resemble those of Colletotrichum crown rot (4, 5). In autumn 1982, a bacterium was isolated that, when inoculated into statice plants, induced symptoms similar to those found on naturally infected plants in the field. We identified the causal agent as Pseudomonas caryophylli on the basis of biochemical and physiological characteristics of the pathogen. This is believed to be the first report of a bacterial disease of statice.
