Kelley ' —102— Mycotrophy 



is not as general as thought by Rayner. Lewis (1924) described 

 stem infection of two other ericads and also of Picea and Larix. 

 Barrows (1941) found the endophyte of Epigaea widely distributed 

 in stem, flower, pollen, young ovules and on ripened fruit and seed; 

 and BosE (1943) reports a similar condition for Casuarina in India, 

 infection of seedlings occurring from the seed-coat. 



In Lolium there is also infection of aerial portions. Neill (1940) 

 described an endophyte in the leaves, while Freeman (1904) said 

 that all organs of the plant except the pollen may be infected.
