Very near A. stomatophora E. & M. but perithecia larger and 
lacking the reticulate margin and asci, and sporidia somewhat 
smaller. 
HyposPILA CORDIANA Ell. & Kelsey. 
On leaves of Cordia collococca. 
Perithecia sunk in the parenchyma of the leaf, small, globose, 
covered by a black suborbicular thin stromatic shield % mm. 
in diameter or less. These black stromatic specks are concen 
trically arranged and seated on pale yellowish bullate indefinite 
spots about 1% cm. diameter on the upper side of the leaf; asci cla- 
vate-cylindrical, short-stipitate, 8-spored (paraphysate ?), 70-80 X 
10-12; sporidia biseriate, fusoid, 3-4-nucleate, greenish-hya- 
line, 15-20 X 3%4-4 », mostly a little narrower and pointed below. 
No septa were seen but the nuclei indicate 3 septa, when mature. 
‘The perithecia are very imperfect, hardly more than mere cavi- 
ties, so that the fungus might with reason be referred to Phy/lachora. 
Sometimes two or even three perithecia are covered by the same 
stromatic shield. 
PuccInIA VERNONIAE Cke. Grev. 10: 126. 
On leaves of Vernonia sp. 
. IL. Sori hypophyllous, rusty brown, 4—14 mm. diameter, scat- 
tered, or collected on pale yellowish spots, visible on both sides of 
the leaf; uredospores subglobose, 20-22», or elliptical, 22-27 * 
20-22 », subtubercular-roughened, pale brown; teleutospores ob- 
long-elliptical, 40-50 X 20-22,, only slightly constricted, epi- 
spore smooth and almost colorless, scarcely thickened above, but 
mostly with a narrow papilla which is often prolonged into a 
hyaline spike-shaped appendage 5-6, long, appearing like the 
remains of a broken pedicel. 
Whether this is really P. Vernoniae Cke. cannot be certainly 
known from the imperfect description in Grevillea. 
AECIDIELLA EIL & Kelsey, n. gen. 
Differs from Aecidium only in its uniseptate spores. 
AECIDIELLA TRIUMFETTAE EIl. & Kel. 
On leaves of Triumfetta, sp. 
Spots light brown, 2-3 mm. diam., with a pale light yellow 
shaded border; pseudoperidia crowded on the spots, hypophyl- — 
lous, short-cylindrical, rounded at the top, then truncate with the 
margin subentire, the component cells oblong or elliptic-oblong,
