REPORT OF THE BOTANIST. ny) 
On the upper surface of the leaves the flocci form minute 
tufts, so small as to be easily overlooked. On the lower surface 
they are more abundant and form effused velvety patches which 
are quite conspicuous. The spores are extremely abundant, 
but they fall away so easily that it is difficult to find them in 
place.
