mm. in diameter. Pseudoperidium prominent, somewhat reflexed 
and lacerate, white when desiccated. Cells of the pseudoperidium 
oval to irregularly polygonal. Aecidospores orange, oval, globose 
or irregularly polygonal, smooth or faintly granulose, 20-25 x 
20-33 ys. 
Il. and III. Sori scattered over the leaves, intermixed. 
Uredosori elliptical, chrome yellow, surrounded by the rup- 
tured epidermis, .5 X I-3 mm. 
Uredospores yellow, minutely echinulate, obovate to globose, 
content yellow, appearing as oil globules when boiled in lactic 
acid ; germ pores apparently six and equatorially placed, 20-26 x 
20-33 
Teleutosori blue-black, long covered by the epidermis, but 
finally dehiscing through a median longitudinal fissure, surrounded 
by the ruptured epidermis, elliptical, .s—1 x I-3 mm. 
Teleutospores chestnut brown, smooth, very irregular in shape 
and insertion of the pedicel, especially the earlier spores ; usually 
oblong to oblong-oval, 20-26 x 33-50 #; apex rounded, blunt 
Or sometimes truncate ; cells unequal, lower usually longer and 
More triangular than upper ; epispore prominently marked by sev- 
eral (usually four) longitudinal lines ; septum often oblique to in- 
Sertion of pedicel ; pedicel fragile, about 10 p» long, tinted.

This plant was first found in its aecidial stage, the latter part 
of January, 1901; from February to May all the stages were com- 
mon, often on the same leaf. The later and fully mature teleuto- 
“Pores have the septa more normally placed and the longitudinal 
bands more prominent than those of the earlier teleutospores.
