Myceliutn penetrating tlie whole of the host planfi, 

 intercellular, fnrnished with haastoria. The affected 

 plants are much altered in appearance, the internodes 

 are shorter, leaves crisped, and the bloom usually 

 arrested. 



Entorrhiza, C. Weber. 



Mycelium developing within the cells of living 

 plants, resting-spores large, simple, produced at the 

 tips of short, lateral branches, one or several formed 

 in the cells of the host, e^oispore thick ; on germination 

 the resting-spores form one or several slender, septate, 

 simple or sometimes slightly branched promycelium- 

 tubes ; sporidia falcate, formed at the apex of the 

 promycelium, also laterally.

The species of the present genus forrn small tuber- 

 cular swellings in the roots of plants. The slender, 

 curved primary sporidia are characteristic.

 irregularly shaped warts on the epispore, 15-17 x
