The Euripus as well as the basin (lacus) of the spina

mosaics) served to moisten the sand.

organs and some additional branches develop into the 
perithecium and its contents. There is also a conidial 
fruit, which is a gray mold. It consists of erect hyphse, 
each terminated by a capitate enlargement upon which 
numerous sterigmata are situated ; each of the latter bears 
a chain of spores. This was formerly considered a dis- 
tinct fungus, known as Aspergilhis. Eurotium with its 
conidial form is a common mold which grows on a great 
variety of substances, especially dead herbs and jellies.
