Abstract Methods that have been developed and standardised in our laboratory for the determination of cultural and biochemical characters of plant pathogenic bacteria have been used to provide data for numerical analyses of 121 strains of 13 phytopathogenic species of Corynebacterium Lehmann & Neumann 1896. Our results show them to be a relatively homogeneous group of organisms which should be classified within a single genus. Other workers have made proposals to exclude plant pathogenic coryneform species from Corynebacterium , but we consider that detailed comparative evidence is insufficient to justify their transfer to any other genus. However, we cannot support the present division of coryneform plant pathogens into 13 species, and propose the following classification. C. michiganense pathovar michiganense (Smith 1910) Jensen 1934 C. michiganense pv. iranicum (Scharif 1961) comb. nov. 1977 C. michiganense pv. insidiosum (McCulloch 1925) comb. nov. 1977 C. michiganense pv. nebraskense (Schuster, Hoff, Mandel & Lazar 1973) comb. nov. 1977 C. michiganense pv. ráthayi (Smith 1913) comb. nov. 1977 C. michiganense pv. sepedonicum (Spieckermann & Kotthoff 1914) comb. nov. 1977 C. michiganense pv. tritici (Hutchinson 1917) comb. nov. 1977 C. flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens (Hedges 1922) Dowson 1942 C. flaccumfaciens pv. betae (Keyworth, Howell & Dowson 1956) comb. nov. 1977 C. flaccumfaciens pv. oortii (Saaltink & Mass Geesteranus 1969) comb. nov. 1977 C. flaccumfaciens pv. po...
