Rhodococcus fascians (Tilford 1936) Goodfellow 1984
This plant-pathogenic bacterium causes the 'leafy galls syndrome' on various herbaceous perennial plants. The infected plants loose their apical dominance and become bushy and stunted with multiple inflorescences and leaf deformations.
For details see the respective page in Wikipedia.
