Christman regardsthe fertile cells as isogametes between which conjugation takes place, andthe sterile cells merely as buffers, of which the function is to assist in therupture of the epidermis. His observations on Phragmidium speciosum were confirmed in 1906 byBlackman and Fraser for Melampsora Rostrupi on Mercurialis (fig. 174);these authors pointed out that the fusion of the fertile cells is a reducedfertilization, strictly comparable to that in Ph. violaceum but achieved by theunion of female cells in pairs instead of by the entrance of a vegetativenucleus into the female cell. This interpretation is confirmed by the fact 216 PROTOBASIDIOMYCETES [ Fig. 196. Triphragmidium Ulmariae(Schum.) Link; primary uredosorus;condition intermediate between migra-tion and conjugation of fertile cell;after Olive. that Moreau found both processes (cell-fusion being considerably morecommon than migration) in the same caeoma in Phragmidium 1905 nuclear association by the fusion of fertile cells in pairs hasbeen observed in a number of species, and seems, according to our presentknowledge, to be the usual method. In the primary uredosorus of Triphragmidium Ulmariae and in certainother species, Olive, in 1908, found arrangements of an intermediate type. Here the cells of the young fructificationform a more or less regular layer and cutoff sterile cells in the usual way. Otherhyphae then push up among them, andcell fusion and nuclear association takeplace (fig. 196). Fusion begins througha narrow pore which afterwards broadens,and in many cases the nucleus of theyounger cell migrate
