This is especially the case in houses under glass, where the fungus, favoured by the moist atmosphere, lives as a saprophyte on dead plant-remains, and multiplies till it becomes strong enough to act as a parasite. It is, however, quite possible that conidial forms of other sclerotia { Scl, sderotionim) may be confounded with this Fio. Ul.—Botrytis ciiierea (Set. FuclceHana). Branch of triloba with two diseased shoots, withered and dead. (v. Tubeuf phot.) The presence of Botrijtis and allied forms on the vine is the cause of a disease of great economic importance, because severe loss may be incurred through rotting of the grapes and the injurious after-effects on the "; A decay of the potato-plant is said to be caused by sclerotia formed inside the stems, and also by a Botrytis? Smith* has figured similar sclerotia, which he ascribes to Peziza postuma Berk, Wil. iH. M.
