During the summer of 1894 a withering of twigs of Friinus triloba occurred in several gardens at Munich (Fig. 141). A mycelium was found in the bark ovaries, while Botri/tis-comdia were developed on the dead parts. With these I successfully infected young needles and twigs of spruce. Sclerotia were also formed on plum- gelatine in fourteen days. The parasite in this case had killed old twigs of Frunus, and also infected twigs of Conifers. Botrytis Douglasii is a parasite which I studied some time ago on account of its presence along with a disease on the Douglas fir (Pseu- dotsuga Douglasii)} I have since had reason to believe that it is allied to some form of sclerotium like that just considered, and my view is supported by Behrens.' The disease as seen in various parts of Germany is characterized by withering, curling-up, and death of young shoots towards the sum- mits of young seedlings, and on the lower twigs of older trees up to •about five feet above the ground. In autumn, l)lack sclerotia about the size of pin heads, break through the epidermis under the old bud- scales, at the base of dead shoots, and on the needles. In addition tangled hyphae are also formed, in a moist chamber, tufts of erect conidiophores arise, and branch, forming numerous whorls of conidiophores, from whicli ' V. Tubeuf, Beitrdye z.
