PUucCcCINIA LUTEOBASIS FE. & E. 
On some umbelliferous plant, Dillon, Colo., June, 1897. 
(Bethel, no. 319.) 
On the petioles and on the lower side of the leaves, the parts 
aftected being slightly swollen and of a bright, light yellow color. 
Sori small, about 1% mm., orbicular, scattered on the yellow spots, 
chestnut-color, at first immersed, soon erumpent and surrounded 
by the ruptured epidermis which forms a little cup, enclosing them 
with the semblance of an Aecidium; spores oblong-elliptical, yel- 
low- brown, more or less irregular, rounded or obtusely pointed or 
even flattened at the summit, mostly rounded also at the base, 
slightly constricted, epispore smooth, not thickened above, con- 
tents granular, 20-32X15-20 #; pedicels hyaline, about as long 
as the spores. 
UstILaGco FUNALIS E. & E. 
U. Sporoboli E. & E. Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 24: 282. 1897. 
Investing the culms with a thin, olivaceous coat of globose 
light-brown spores about 5 y diam., extending continuously from 
one node to another. 
We have changed the specific name “Sporoboli” to ‘‘funalis” 
on account of the homonymous U. Sporoboli Tracy & Earle, which 
takes precedence, but is a very different thing from this. 
This same Ustilago (U. funalis) also occurs on Oryzopsis cuspi- 
data in Colorado (Bethel, no. 279).
