96 THE BRITISH SMUT FUNGI Spore germination. Spores germinate as soon as they are ripe at an optimum temperature of 13° to 22° C. (Walker & WeUman, 1926). Thaxter (1890) first observed germination. Anderson (1921) described fiow the promycelium remained short and hemispherical, while from it arose a whorl of branches which grew indefinitely to form myceUum. Older parts of the mycehum became empty, the protoplasm collecting in the growing tips. The cells tended to separate and detached fragments started new growth in culture. BHzzard (1926) confirmed these results. He described the promyceHum as a spherical vesicle about 6-10 /i diam. From it arose four to eight branches of variable length which continued growth and produced in 12 to 18 hours on onion decoction agar a dense weft of myceUum. Fusions were not observed and no sporidia developed. All cells of the hyphae developing from the promyceUum were uninucleate and remained so during the saprophytic life. Parasitic mycehum consisted at first of uninucleate cells but binucleate segments were seen in the young sorus, and before sporogenesis all the cells contained two nuclei. Infection of the host occurs through the cotyledon before the emergence of the first leaf at soil temperatures between 10° and 27° C. (Walker & Jones, 1921; Szembel, 1926). No resistant varieties of onion of commercial value are known but a fertile amphidiploid, obtained by crossing Allium cepa with the resistant species A. fistulosum, may be useful ,in breeding resistant types (Walker, Jones, & Clarke, 1944). The fungus survived in soil for 20 years (Moore, 1948). Urocystis colchici (Schlecht.) Rabenh. Caeoma colchici Schlechtendal, Linnaea, i, p. 241, 1826.

Sori in the leaves as bhster-hke swellings parallel with the veins, 0-5-1-0 mm. wide, 2-10 or more mm. long, at first beneath the epidermis which later ruptures to expose the spores. Spore mass powdery, dark brown. Spore halls globose to irregular, 14-34 x 14-22 ju., each composed of one or two (rarely three or four) spores surrounded by a layer of yellowish, ovoid, sterile cells, 7-10 /x diam. Spores globose or angled to somewhat elongated, flattened on side of contact, reddish-brown, smooth, 12-16 /u. diam. On Colchicum autumnale.

Spore balls globose to somewhat ellipsoidal, 20-40 ja diam., each composed of one spore (or occasionally two) completely surrounded by a layer of yellowish-tinted, somewhat elongated, sterile cells, 8-12 fj, diam. Spores globose, dark brown, smooth, 13-18 fi diam. On Eranthis hyemalis. April-May. Norfolk, Dorset, Cambs. Spore germination. Unknown. Urocystis filipendulae (Tul.) Schroet.

Tuburcinia filipendulae (Tul.) Liro, 1922. Sori in the petioles and mid-ribs of the radical leaves, irregular, finally erumpent, up to 44 mm. long. Spore mass powdery, black. Spore balls variable, each composed of one to seven spores surrounded, by irregular sub-globose, brown, sterile cells, up to 12 /idiam. Spores rounder angular, brown, punctate, 15-25 X10-15 [JL. On Filipendula liexapetala. Damford Down, Salisbury, May, 1897, Mr. Tatum (Plowright, Trans. Brit, mycol. Soc, i, p. 60, 1899). ^ Spore germination. Schroeter (1877) germinated spores, collected two months previously, in distilled water. The short promycelium produced terminally a tuft of five or six long cylindrical branches about equal in length to the diameter of the spore. Brefeld (1883) confirmed these results with spores that had lain for a year in moist soil. The promycehal branches developed mycehum without fusion. Urocystis flscheri K6m. Urocystis fi^cheri Komicke, Hedwigia, xvi, p. 34, 1879. Tuburcinia fischeri (Kom.) Liro, 1922. Sori in the leaves as elongated blisteTs parallel with the veins, at first beneath the epidermis which ruptures to expose the spores. Spore mass powdery, black. Spore balls irregularly globose, 20-35 jn diam., each composed of one to two (occasionally three to four) spores completely surrounded by a layer of yellowishtinted, sterile cells, 8-14 /j. diam. ^Spores rounded, dark reddish-brown, 14-16 ju. diam. ' On Carex flacca. June. England (Dorset [Herb, Path. Lab. 12]), Scotland (Forfarshire), Spore germination. Plowright (1889) germinated the spores after a considerable period of soaking in water. He remarked on the length of the promycelium and on the size and number of the sporidia, as many as eight occurring on one promycelium. No reference was made to fusions (Fig, 17 d). ' G
