But if the conferva or parasitic fungus exceeds its allies in the above respects, it will then be dominant within its own class.
A plant of this kind is not the less dominant because some conferva inhabiting the water or some parasitic fungus is infinitely more numerous in individuals, and more widely diffused.
Microscopic animals produced from all vegetable and animal infusions; generate others like themselves by solitary reproduction; not produced from eggs; conferva fontinalis; mucor.
A conferva grew in the waters of the lake, and short, hard tufts of sedge on the banks, but no other plants were to be seen.
We have for instance from the Ganges, opposite Bijnour, a Batrachospermum and Conferva crispata, the former purple below, with specimens of Chantransia, exactly as they might occur in the Thames.
A conferva grows in the hot water, and the garnets are worn out of the gneiss rock exposed to its action.
Conferva crispata again, as mentioned above, occurs in several localities; and in one locality a beautiful unbranched Conferva, with torulose articulations.
Our mass ofconferva turns out to contain one of the most elegant species.
This year the March sunshine was not lost, for on the third of that month I obtained a bottleful of conferva from a pond about a mile from my house, and lying at the foot of the Highgate hills.
We have transferred a few threads of the conferva from the bottle to the live box, spreading out the fine fibres with a needle, and adding a drop of water.
