| Note： |
This species had been reported in Taiwan by Dr. Chien. From the description we know that his isolate has the following differences compared with the isolate of Emerson’s: (1) The former have smaller zoosporangia and resting sporangia. (2) In the former, the catenulate gametangia are rarely observed. These differences did not appear in all of our isolates of A. macrogynus. And we found Rozella allomycis (plate 3, Figs. 43-44) that is parasitic in hyphae of A. macrogynus. | |||
