This mycelium produces the secidium-stage, which is t usually seen until the end of June, in about 18—20 days, le secidia are not of the ordinary cup-like shape, but of the •m called Roestelia: they are cylindrical, brown at the base d ochreous above where the peridium is torn into numerous snder filaments (Fig. 31). On the leaves they appear in iindish patches a few mm. in diameter, but on the twigs ey form large spongy masses and the fruits are often so vered with them as to look like a cluster of little spikes.
