Spore germination by a septate promycelium bearing lateral sporidia or branches (see p. 20). USTILAGO (Persoon) Roussel, Flor. Calv., p. 47, 1806 Type: Ustilago segetum Pers. on Gramineae, France.. Synonym: Ustilagidium'SAtTherg, 1895. Sori in various parts of the host, especially the inflorescence. Spore mass powdery, usually dark in colour. Spores single, small to medium, usually 4-18 fj. diam. Spore germination, see p. 20. Differs from Tilletia in the methods of spore formation (see p. 15) and germination.
