These cushions are formed of sprout cells which develop ascospores in the superficial layers. Under favorable conditions these cells develop into a multitude of three-rayed reproductive bodies, called propagula (Fig. 98, 2 to 4), which are disseminated by wind and rain. They develop again to cushions (Hoehnel, 1910; Cotton, 1914; Neger, 1918). Perhaps they are highly developed yeasts, adapted to an epi- phytic existence, but one may not entirely discard the concept of a degen- eration of simple Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Gäumann, Ernst Albert, 1893-1963; Dodge, Carroll William, 1895-.
