﻿REPORT 
  OF 
  THE 
  STATE 
  BOTANIST 
  II7 
  

  

  The 
  fungus 
  occupies 
  the 
  whole 
  lower 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  leaves 
  and 
  it 
  

   overspreads 
  them 
  with 
  a 
  white 
  flocculent 
  stratum 
  of 
  its 
  spores. 
  It 
  is 
  

   similar 
  in 
  habit 
  to 
  R. 
  effusum, 
  which 
  attacks 
  the 
  leaves 
  of 
  the 
  common 
  

   huckleberry, 
  Gayhtssacia 
  resinosa. 
  It 
  sometimes 
  kills 
  both 
  leaves 
  and 
  

   twigs. 
  It 
  differs 
  from 
  R. 
  Andromedce 
  in 
  its 
  shorter 
  liyphse, 
  broader 
  

   spores 
  and 
  different 
  habit.

  August. 
  

  

  The 
  parasite 
  completely 
  overspreads 
  the 
  host 
  plant 
  with 
  a 
  thin 
  

   white 
  felty 
  covering 
  of 
  its 
  h37phse 
  and 
  soon 
  kills 
  it.

  The 
  leaves 
  in 
  our 
  specimens 
  were 
  attacked 
  near 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  so 
  

   weakened 
  by 
  the 
  fungus 
  that 
  the 
  apical 
  half 
  had 
  drooped 
  and 
  

   withered.
