The parasitic filaments of each year's knot gener- ally penetrate downward some centimetres into the unin- jured bark, and remain dormant there until the following spring, when they begin the growth which results in the production of a new knot, as described above. 334. To this order belongs the Ergot (a common para- site upon heads of rye), and also many of the black growths upon the bark and wood of trees. Many species produce black spots upon living leaves, while many others occur upon dead leaves and twigs. 335. The Black Fungi include a large number of exceed-.
