. Introduction to the study of fungi; their organography, classification, and distribution, for the use of collectors. Fungi. Fis. 133.—Tubercularia, D ; with Nectria, E ; section, F ; and asci, G. Oard. Chron. perfect condition, the Fungi to which it belongs are characterised as imperfect Fungi. We might follow the same process with one or other of the species of Fusarium, which is a genus in the present family, the con- idia of which are com- paratively large, fusi- form, and mostly three or five septate. Some of them are, in like manner, only the con- idia of some more highly developed Fun- gus, and often a species of Nectria. The pus- tules are not so com- pact, sometimes effused, seldom with a determinate stroma, and rarely with the hyphae much developed. The genus altogether is much more variable than Tubercularia, and not so well con- stituted, so that pos- sibly it will be broken up into more homo- geneous genera in the near future. On the faith of some obser- vations made by Mr. Worthington Smith, the conidia must be regarded as bodies of a much higher order than their analogues in Tubercularia. Not only are they capable of dividing at the joints, and each segment vegetating as a separate unit, buj; these may be converted into , or at least have a thickened epispore, capable of hibernation. "When this is confirmed it will go far towards necessitating a revision of the classification, so far as an association with Tubercularia is Fig. 134.—B, section of Tutiercularia; C, conidia. Gard.
