    Oonceptaclc—a superficial cavity open- ing outwards within which conidia or sporules are ])roduced. Conidiophorc—same as gonidiojihore. Conidium—same as gonidium or brood- cell. Cortina, or curtain—in Hymenomy- cetes, marginal veil, ruptured from the stipe and hanging from the edge of the pileus, or around the stipe in threads. Cryptogamia — applied to the lower orders of plants in which there are no conspicuous flowers, as there are in the Phanerogamia. Cuticle, or pellicle—the separable outer layer. Cyst—a bladder specially applied to the terminal si)orangia of Mucors. Cystidium—in Hymenomycetes, large projecting cells of the hymenium, extending beyond the basidia and paraphyses. Dichotomy—branching in pairs in a forked manner. Disc—the hymenium of a discocarp. Discocarp—an open ascocarp in which the hymenium is exposed whilst the asci mature. Elater — in Myxomycetes, a free capillitium thread, mostly spirally marked or warted. Undogonidium—gonidium formed with- in a receptacle. Endophytal—growing within another plant. Endosporium, Endospdre — innermost coat of a spore. Entomogenous—growing upon or within insects. Ep)ipliytal — gi'owing upon another plant. Episporium, Epispore — outer coat of spore. Exciptihim—outer envelope of a disco- carp developed as part of the recep- tacle. Factjltative parasite—an organism which, normally goes through its whole course as a saprophyte, but which may also go through its course either wholly or in part as a parasite. Eacnltative saprophyte — an organism which normally goes through its whole course as a parasite, but which can vegetate at certain stages as a saprophyte. Flagcllmn — whip-like process of a swarm - sjjore, a single or solitary long cilium. Funiculus—in Nidulariaceae, the cord of hyjjhae attaching a 2)eridiolum to the inner wall of the peridium. Gamete — sexual protoplasmic body, which on conjugation with another gamete gives rise to a body called a zygote or zygospore. Germ-cell—first jjroduct of commencing germination of a spore. Gleba — chambered spore - producing tissue within a sporojjhore. As in Gastromycetes. Gonidiophore — sporophore bearing a gonidium. Gonidium = conidium, or brood-cell— propagative cell, produced asexually, separating from the parent and cap- able of direct development into a new individual. Gonoplasm—portion of protoplasm ot antheridium in Peronosporeae whicli passes through fertilisation tube and coalesces with the oosphere. Gonospherc—the same as oosphere. Gymnocarpous—having the hymenium exposed while the spores are growing. Habitat—the place in which a plant gl'OWS. Raicstorium—special branch of fila- mentous mycelium which serves as an organ of adhesion and suction. Heteroecious—forms which pass through separate sections of theii- complete history on different hosts. Heterosporous—having spores asexually produced, of more than one kind. Homosporous, Isosporous—having spores asexually produced, of only one kind. Hymenium—SYiore mother-cells, aggre- gated in a continuous laj^er upon a sporophore, or that specialised por- tion termed the receptacle. Hymenop)lioi-c—portion of a sporophore which bears a hymenium. Hyplia, as applied to Fungi—a cylind- rical, thread-like, simple, or branched body, consisting of a tubiilar mem- brane enclosing i^rotoplasm, growing apically, and often becoming trans- versely septate. Hyphal bodies—irregular bodies analo- gous to mycelium in Entomoph- thoraceae. Hypothecium—layer of hyphal tissue immediately beneath a hymenium.
