This species appears to be very closely related to Sphaerophragmium 

 acaciae (Cooke) P. Magn. The teleutospores are very few in number 

 but they appear to be always borne in the same sorus with the uredospores.

Luzon, Ifugao Subprovince, Bur. Sci. 25202 Yates, April 12, 1916, on 

 leaves of Schefflera sp. 



The spores are produced mostly on the lower leaf surface but also 

 occasionally on the upper surface. The leaf tissue is killed and becomes 

 yellow over a spot 1 to 3 cm in diameter, or sometimes the entire leaf is 

 killed. The spores are 3-celled, 25 to 35 /* in diameter and about 35 n 

 long. Each cell bears four spines; one at each outer angle. The spines 

 are 5 to 8 m- long and dichotomously forked at the tip with prongs 2 

 to 3 m long. The position and size of the spines are very uniform. The 

 general appearance of the spots is somewhat similar to those produced 

 on Justicia gendarussa by Puccinia thtvaitesii Berk.

 January, 1916, on leaves of Mastixia philippinensis. 



This specimen is provisionally referred to Dothiopsis as it seems to 

 agree best with the description of that genus. It is possibly the conidial 

 stage of some dothideaceous fungus.
