Upon rupture of the covering membrane a dusty black-brown spore-mass appears; spore-balls ovoid to spherical, 17-25 n in length; sterile cells tinted, ovoid to spherical, small, rather com- pletely covering the spores, usually 4r-8 n in length; fertile cells reddish-brown, ovoid to spherical, usually 1, rarely 2 in a ball, chiefly 12-16 ju in length. On Allium. The first American description of the fungus was by Farlow ^ in 1876. A second thorough paper was from Thaxter in 1889.** The myedium grows between the host cells. At maturity lateral.
