But in many cases the attack is tolerated by the host, with only partial injury. It is often the leaf, or only certain tissues of the leaf, which are attacked, the result being a loss of efficiency by the host, while the parasite gains access to the sources of supply.

These may indeed be stimulated to greater action, with the effect of swelling, and extra divisions of their cells. The result may be various malformations, such as are seen in the familiar leaf-curl of Peaches, or the swollen patches of Cluster-Cups (Fig. 383, p. 44;). ]fH M.
