The main theorem of this paper claims the existence of a quasi-identity \(\Phi\) which is true in the free nilpotent class 2 group \(F_2 ({\mathcal N}_2)\) of rank 2, but false in any non-abelian group with no subgroup isomorphic to \(F_2 ({\mathcal N}_2)\), thus giving a negative answer to the question as to whether the quasivariety of torsion-free groups in the quasivariety generated by an infinite set of groups of order the cube of some prime coincides with the quasivariety generated by \(F_2 ({\mathcal N}_2)\). Unfortunately, the reviewer found the proof of one of the main lemmata (Lemma 4) extremely difficult to follow.
