By Chas. H. Feck. 
PucciNiA CoMANDR/E. — Spots pale or yellowish, often conflueTit; 
sori abundant, amphigenous, crowded or scattered, orbicular, black- 
ish-brown or black; spores variable, obovate-oblong or elliptical, ob- 
tusely pointed, obtuse, truncate or obliquely truncate, .0012 to .0024 
inch long, .0008 to .0009 in. broad, with a long colorless pedicel. 
Leaves, stem and fruit of living Comandra pallida, Washington 
Territory, T, S. Brandegee. 
The sori occur on both sides of the leaf, but they are usually more 
plentiful on the lower than on the upper surface. 
PucciNiA Clarki^. — Stylospores — Sori minute, orbicular, ani- 
phigenous, reddish-brown; spores globose or subglobose, -0009 to 
.0011 in. in diameter. 
Teleutospores. — Sori minute, orbicular, scattered, amphigenous, 
blackish-brown; spores oblong or obovate, obtuse or obtusely pointed, 
slightly constricted at the septum, .0016 to .002 in. long, .0009 to 
.001 in. broad,. the pedicel about equal to or shorter than the length 
of the spore. 
lAs'mgXt^v^^oiClarkiapiilchella, Washington Territory, Brande- 
gee. 
The sori of the teleutospores occur on the same plant and even on 
tfie same leaves as the stylospores, but they are at once distinguished 
from these by their darker color. Stylospores are sometimes inter- 
mingled in the same sorirs with the teleutospores, 
Puccinta Balsamorrhiz/E. — Sori amphigenous, scattered, sub- 
orbicular, large or small, black; spores oblong-elliptical, obtuse, 
scarcely constricted, .0016 to ,0018 in. long, .0009 to .001 in broad, 
with a short pedicel. 
Living or languishing \^z.\^^oi Balsamorrhiza sagitiata, etc. Wash- 
ington Territory, Brandegee; Utah, M. E. Jones. 
Trichobasis Balsamorrhizce, BoL Gazelle, Vol. v., p. 276, is appar- 
ently the stylosporous condition of this species. In the specnnens 
from Washington Territory the stylospores are intermingled with the 
teleutospores. 
Puccinta Soltdaginis.— Spots pale, becoming brownish, some- 
times confluent; sori large, prominent, amphigenous, scattered or 
clustered, black; spores oblong, constricted at the septum, pointed 
or obtuse, .0016 to .002 in. long, .0009 to .0011 in. broad; pedicel 
Colorless, longer than the spore. 
Living leaves of Solidago pumila, Utah, Jones. • i i • 
This is clearly distinct from P. Virgaurem, which also inhabits 
t"e leaves of certain species of Solidago.
