The affected leaves turn yellowish. The spores are generally 
cylindrical, but_ sometimes they are slightly narrowed toward one 
end and occasionally one appears to be obscurely septate in the 
inside The species is distinct from S. Astragali both in the situa- 
tion of the perithecia and in the character of the spots.

The two kinds of sori sometimes occur on separate leaves; some- 
tinies they are intermingled on the same leaf and the stylospores 
and teleutospores are occasionally intermingled in the same sorus.

over, the one upon the other, and lie side by side, thus appearing to 
possess a sort of hygrometric character.

mis species, by its inflated vesicle-like pedicel, is related to 
the preceding one, but is clearly distinct from it by its broader, rough 
or verrucose spores and their more globose pedicels. I have not seen 
the aecidial and uredo forms, and the sori of the teleutospores are 
very scarce in the specimens sent. P. Lycii, K., whose host-plant is 
J^yciumtubulosum, has much smaller spores, and the description does 
not indicate that they pos.sess an inflated pedicel.
