echinulate, globose or elliptical, 20-3018-22 “, brownish-black, 
epispore nearly equally thickened throughout ; pedicels slender 
hyaline, subpersistent, 20—30 long. Teleutospores (in the same 
_ Sori as the uredospores), oblong or clavate, pale, constricted at 
the septum, 22~30X12-15 «, epispore smooth, mostly not at all or 
only slightly thickened at the rounded or subtruncate apex. 
The uredospores are abundant and well developed, while the 
teleutospores are few in number and apparently not well matured. 
This is quite distinct from P. omnivora E. & E. and from P. 
Chrysopogt Barcl.

II. and III. Uredospore sori minute, narrow, 1-2 mm. long, 
at first covered, then rupturing the epidermis and discharging the 
yellow, globose or subelliptical, 18-22 “, subechinulate spores. 
III. Sori amphigenous, but mostly hypophyllous, oblong or 
% linear, 1 mm.—1 cm. long, \% mm. wide, at first covered, but soon 
bare and margined by the ruptured epidermis, nearly black. Te- 
leutospores elliptical to oblong, 22-40%12-16. K, scarcely con- 
stricted, mostly rounded at each end, but those in the center of 
the sori narrower and paler, and gradually attenuated into the 
Stout, 50-70X4-6 », yellowish-hyaline pedicel, upper cell darker, 
and in the shorter, elliptical spores mostly rounded at the apex 
without any distinct papilla, the narrower, paler spores with a dis- 
tinct yellowish-hyaline obtusely conical papilla, epispore smooth, 
distinctly thickened at the apex. 
Has the habit of P. graminis, but the spores are decidedly 
smaller, both the uredo and teleutospores.

III. Teleutospores slender-clavate, 40-50x14-16 Ms . 
almost hyaline below, epispore smooth, much thickened at t “5 ce 
and darker, slightly constricted, crowded in broad(2-3 me be he 
nearly black, hypophyllous sori, which are partly a <i cad 
epidermis. The upper surface of the leaf is marke as meh 
brown spots corresponding to the sori on the opposite side. as 
Spores are mostly regularly rounded at the apex, ot Cars a the 
_Obtusely pointed or even truncate. Pedicels about as long a 
spores. 
Differs from P. As¢eris in its large, dark sori.
