found upon the leaves of other vegetables, and

grows inside the glumes of the calyx, under

bursts, and emits a powder of a. bright orango
colour. It does not appear to be materially
injurious to the grains. Before the cuticle which
covers the fungus bursts, it has much the
appearance of a pustule upon the human body,
