Hallier (1870) described what he believed to be the cause of farcy (glanders) in the horse. He named the culture Malleomyces equestris and gave in detail a description of the parasite. He emphasized its extreme pleomorphism, noting that it took on the form of bacteria and of various molds. study of Hallier's descriptions and illustrations adequately demonstrate that he was working with impure or mixed cultures. He used a combined generic-species description.
