A numerical taxonomic study of the genus Erwinia

From data that were reported in taxonomic studies of the genus Erwinia in 1968 and 1969, four numerical analyses have been made and the results presented as dendrograms. The analyses confirm some of the proposals made in 1968 and 1969 and provide new information on which proposals are made for the classification of other nomenspecies. Because of recent nomenclatural changes in bacterial names, an up‐to‐date list is given of the correct name for each nomenspecies included in this study.
