1. Akai, S 1939 (On the ash figures of leaves of the rice plants transplanted from the different kinds of nursery beds and their susceptibilities to the blast disease.) Annals of the Phytopathological Society of Japan 9: 223–235. (Japanese, English summary). Comparison of seedlings from humid and arid soils shows more phytoliths (especially bulliform cells) from the humid soil. Silicification of bulliform cells is inversely correlated to blast disease. 15 tables.
2. Amos, GL 1952 Silica in timbers. Australia Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization Bulletin, Melbourne 267: 1–55. Lists silica content and distribution in tissues for 400+ taxa in 32 families. Non-accumulating genera and families lacking siliceous timbers are also listed. 4 plates (32 photos), 6 figures, 2 appendices.
3. Amos, GL and Dadswell, HE 1948 Siliceous inclusions in wood in relation to marine borer resistance. Australia Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Journal of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research 21:190–196. Differences in marine borer resistance of some tropical woods are correlated to total Si content and silica inclusions. Calcium oxalate and silica crystals have been reported in various species. 2 plates (8 photos), 1 table.

In Cohen, AD, Casagrande, DJ, Andrejko, MJ and Best, GR, The Okefenokee Swamp: Its Natural History, Geology, and Geochemistry. Los Alamos, New Mexico, Wetland Surveys: 468–491. Phytoliths from 6 sedge and grass spp are compared in detail. 8 figures (38 photos), 3 tables.

Los Alamos National Laboratory, Publication LA-9907-OBES: 3-24. Mineral matter in peat is derived from several sources. Authigenic minerals include silica and calcium oxalate deposits formed in plants. No photos, drawings or descriptions of phytolith shape or distribution. 6 figures, 2 tables.
