}Abstract Dioscorea communis, hitherto known as Tamus communis, black bryony, is a temperate Eurasian species here recorded as adventive from Wellington, New Zealand. The family Dioscoreaceae is otherwise only known from a few other species of Dioscorea that are occasionally cultivated, this having very probably been so since pre‐European times.

This volume is the outcome of a meeting held in Oxford in March 1978, where the subjects discussed included nutrient demand and supply, biological activity at the root surface and the interfacial aspects of the effects of soil-borne diseases and environmental stress on plant growth.
