Erwiniaherbicola is the correct name if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Erwinia.
The results of morphological, physiological and chemical studies indicate that the type strain of Corynebacterium beticola Abdou 1969 (Approved Lists 1980) is a Gram negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterium which would be assigned to the genus Erwinia as Erwinia herbicola (Löhnis 1911) Dye 1964 (Approved Lists 1980). According to Rule 37a (1) the name Corynebacterium beticola must be changed to Erwinia herbicola. However, this change has not been validly published.Publication:
