 rasites. fKew Bull. Mise. Inform. N«. 4. p. 190—191. 1914.) 



As an instance of a saprophytic fungus becoming parasitic 

 a case is cited of Clerodendron fallax, Lindl., in which Cladospoviuni 

 epiphyllum was found growing on the sugary excretion from the 

 glands, and subsequently became able to directl}^ infect any portion 

 of the leaf. E. M. Wakefield (Kew).

 Inform. W. 4. p. 145-146. 1 pl. 1914.) 



In the seeds of Tomatoes badly attached hy Macrosporium 

 solani, Cke, a thick weft of hyphae was found between the testa

 and rejection of all seed produced by diseased plants is recommended.
