Hypertrophy.âMany para- sitic fungi cause abnormal enlarge- ment or other malformation of plants which they attack. The simplest case of hypertrophy is seen in the enlargement of a uni- cellular plant as a result of an endophytic parasite, Pilobolus Kleinii with Pleotrachelus. The same example is also the simplest possible case of a gall caused by a plant, and distin- guished by the name of "fungus- galls " or Mycocecidia, from Zooce- cidia, the galls caused by animals. Larger galls occur on leaves sxoascus . ^^111 a 7 J â T_ and abortive. 4 natural size. (v. Tubeuf attacked by Synchytriwm, where p^ot.) not only the single cell attacked becomes enlarged, but also the surrounding cells; these galls, however, form but tiny points on diseased leaves. Similar small and local enlargements of the leaf-cells, accompanied frequently by cell multiplication, caused by many other fungi, species of Exoascus. More extensive malformation may embrace some part or even the whole leaf, so that it is more or less enlarged and beset with blister-like outgrowths, as with other Exoaseeae (see Figs. 62 and 64). Other gall-forms are presented by Exohasidium on the alpine-rose (Fig. 259), where the gall is always localized to a small area of the leaf, and on the cowberry, where the gall may extend over whole leaves, and even include the shoot (Fig. 256). Hypertrophy of the whole shoot, resulting in elongation and thickening of the twigs, is a phenomenon frequently met with in the " witches' brooms," to be referred to later. And just as entire branch-systems may become hypertrophie
