Comments
On Phoenix canariensis, so this may be a different forma specialis of F. oxysporum (see EPPO data sheet). The identification as f. sp. albedinis was never proved by inoculation to Phoenix dactylifera.

Reporting Service 93/097: further report from southern IT, still subject to the above criticism.

EPPO Reporting Service (1997/152) : the form on P. canariensis is confirmed as distinct.
