Many spots may become conflu-ent, so that very irregular outlines may result. As the development. 326 FUNGOUS DISEASES OF PLANTS of conidia proceeds, in the older areas the spots vary from gray tobright pink. Through such injuries the boll is usually seriouslydamaged and may never open. Moreover, through the boll injuriesthe fungus may probably penetrate the seed and thus be carried overand distributed the following season. Seedlings may be affectedeither upon cotyledons or stem, especially upon employing diseasedseed, and at this stage the plantlet is readily wilted as a result. Upon stems of the adult plant the CoUetotrichum seems to belargely a wound parasite, although in continued moist weatherdirect injury may be induced. Upon mature leaves it is said totake the form of a scald, or frost effect, and it may also accompanyother leaf diseases. Characters of the fungus.
