STRUCTUKE OP THE FOKMATION 



wet meadow. The masses of yellowish stems are often nbun- 

 dant enough to be noticeable, and frequently to become con- 

 trolling for a short distance, in which case they cover over or 

 drag down many of the plants within their reach. The whit- 

 ish flowers are arranged in glomerate, ropy masses about the 

 stems to which the parasite has grafted itself. The occur- 

 rence of CusGuta, like that of other parasites, is dependent 

 upon the distribution of its host. Falcata pitcheri is a pleio- 

 cyclic woodland twiner growing in the eroded beds of a few 

 draws near the creek. On account of the location, the short 

 racemes of blue flowers do not influence the aspect.
