EFFECT OF PARASITIC FUNGI ON THE FOEM OF THE HOST-PLANT. 1. Arrest of growth, and Atrophy. While a large number of fungi produce more or less extensive enlargement of parts of their host, others cause arrest of organs, crippling, impoverished nutrition, and even atrophy of. an extreme kind. Incompletely developed organs of this kind may originate even where the fungus in possession produces only local hypertrophy. In- teresting examples are presented by many species of SyTwhytrium, { S. taraxacum and S. ane- mones). The former is endo- phytic in Taraxacum, and exerts a stimulus resulting in increased growth, not limited to the single cell attacked, but ex- tending to neighbouring cells, partMatrophy which, in conscquence, multiply and form a ring-like swelling round it. The leaves as a whole, however, are poorly developed, so that the lamina in veiy extreme cases may be represented only by the midrib and narrow margin (Fig. 4); while on leaves attacked on one side, that side alone is stunted, the other is normal. Taraxacum leaves badly attacked by Pucdnia are not at all deformed, whereas those of Anemone show striking arrest of growth (Fig. 190). Leaves of Cirsium attacked by Pticcinia suaveolens exhibit an arrest of the same kind, remaining less divided and of softer texture (Fig. 186). Flowers affected by parasitic fungi present many striking malformations. Magnus ^ describes such a case in Anemone ^ Magnus, " Einfluss v. Parasiten auf d.
