PLATE 2 
A. — Fusarium moniliforme , showing typical mircroconidia from host material. 
They are slightly pyriform and the attenuated end of the spore is often sharply 
muticate. 
B. —Fusarium moniliforme , showing mircroconidia during early stages of germina¬ 
tion. The spores enlarge considerably and often become Septate before the germ 
tube has developed. 
C. — Fusarium moniliforme , showing typical macroconidia. These were observed to be 
mostly three septate. They are sparingly developed and were observed in cultures 
on rice agar and steamed com meal. 
D. E-— Fusarium moniliforme , showing simple and branched conidiophoreS. 
F. — Fusarium moniliforme , showing a branched conidiophore with typical catenu- 
late microconidia. 
G, H — Fusarium moniliforme , showing two simple conidiophores with the micro¬ 
conidia in heads. These heads are commonly found in old cultures but the spores 
are not held together in a slime. 
Drawn with the aid of the cameralucida, approximately X6oo.
