A short analysis is being made of the relationship between Tilletia secalis (Corda) Kornicke and T. controversa Kiihn, and the value of the individual distinguishing characters. Extracts of spores of both T. secalis and T. controversa were tested by the slide germination method where they showed the same inhibition, which distinguishes them from T. caries (DC) Tul. and T. foetida (Wallr.) Liro. This is further proof of the close relationship between these two species.
