A yellows-type virus was isolated from naturally infected alsike clover, Trifolium hybridum L., from Alberta by means of the six-spotted leafhopper, Macrosteles fascifrons (Stål), and transmitted to T. hybridum, Callistephus chinensis Nees, Vinca rosea L., Daucus carota L., and Nicotiana rustica L. Attempts to isolate the virus with Scaphytopius acutus (Say) were unsuccessful. On the basis of symptomatology and vector–virus relationships it is concluded that this virus is distinct from the clover phyllody virus and known strains of the aster yellows virus. The name, clover proliferation virus, is proposed. Symptoms produced on hosts are illustrated and discussed.
