At a is shown a cross section of the more or less spherical fruit body. It is deeply immersed in the tissues of the leaf, and the walls are stout and appressed. From these walls arise a forest-like mass of minute filaments, or basidia,

When ripe, these spores are doubtless expelled through the mouth of the pycnidium by means of absorbed water, and then they are readily scattered by wind and rain for the immediate dissemination of the fungus. The spores readily germinate, giv- ing rise to the delicate tube-like filaments, which enter the tissues of the leaf as mentioned for the Cercospora.
