Entyloma, Be By. 



Mycelium of very thin branched filaments, the ends of which 

 are transformed into spore-bearers. For the formation of 

 the spores these parts are swollen and divided by transverse 

 partitions; spores rounded polyhedric, of a clear yellowish- 

 brown, usually with a thick membrane composed of two 

 distinct layers. 



EntylomaUngerianum, I)e By. (JProtomyces microsponis, 

 Unger.) At first in the form of rounded patches, later as 

 brownish -yellow swellings ; spores variable in form, polyhedric, 

 with a thick double membrane more or less verrucose.— On the 

 leaves of Ranunculus Ficaria. 



Tilletia, Till. 



Spores spherical, isolated, granular or reticulated, proceeding 

 from delicate branched threads ; rarely smooth. 



* Spores with a granular epispore. 



Tilletia bullata, Fckl. Mass of spores blackish, in roundish 

 bullate spots ; spores globose (015-010 mm.), brown ; epispore 

 granular.— On leaves of Dock, Ritmex. 



** Spores with a reticulated epispore. 



Tilletia caries, Tul. Bunt; included within the germen ; 

 spores spherical, rather large, black. — On Wheat, filling the grains 

 with dark-coloured spores, fetid when crushed. Autumn. Very 

 common. (Plate V. figs. 84-91.) 



PERONOSPOREI, De By. 



Peronospora, Casp. 



Parasitic threads mostly inarticulate. Spores of two kinds :— 

 1. Acrospores on the tips of the branchlets ; 2. Oospores 

 large, globose, on the creeping mycelium. 



Peronospora infestans, Mont. Potato Mould ; threads
