The possible relationships between some of these viruses and certain foreign rugaceous viruses also are discussed. It seems that the <em>Rhynchosia</em> mosaic (Puerto Rico), the yellow mosaic of <em>Phaseolus lunatus</em> L. (India) and the yellow mosaic of <em>Phaseolus longepedunculalus</em> Mart. (Brazil) are related diseases. The Puerto Rican mosaic of <em>Sida carpinifolia</em> also seems related to the Brazilian chlorosis of Malvaceae. Five seemingly different rugaceous viruses have been studied in Puerto Rico. ER -
