It is the left hand side bottom tube on my bike, running from the pedal area to the rear axle.
Only just noticed it while removing the rear wheel to fix a puncture - it could have been broken for years.
Not sure what strain that tube has to take - I should think most is taken by the tube running down from the saddle area to the rear axle.
I suspect that a non-welding fix will have to suffice, but whether that's gluing on a tube that fits snugly on the outside of the broken tube or just coming up with a bracket to bridge the gap...
I'm not too worried about the aesthetics :-)
