[b and c, after De Bary) conidial cushions, characteristic of the family to'which this species belongs, are prominent. The fungus. The conidial cushions occur upon leaves, stems, and floral parts, or fruits. On the majority of hosts, such as shepherd's purse, horse radish, etc., oospores generally occur only in the stems, yet upon some other hosts, particularly upon certain mustards in the western United States, oospores alone are com- mon. The mycelium is considerable, and constantly intercellular, with abundant knob-like haustoria. The mycelium develops abun- dantly at some points just beneath the epidermis, and there are produced numerous short, erect, basally branched conidiophores. The latter give rise to simple chains of spores in basipetal suc- cession. These are usually separated one from another by slight.
