Puccinia ballotaeflora sp. nov. 
Uredospores intermixed with the teleutospores ; light brown, 
echinulate, germ pores 2-3, oval to globose, 20-28 x 24~27. 
III. Teleutosori powdery, mainly on the under side of the 
leaves, but sparingly on the upper surface; black ; scattered, or- 
bicular; punctiform to .75 mm. in diameter; sori on the upper 
surface mainly punctiform. 
Teleutospores chestnut brown, both cells plainly verrucose, 
apiculate, slightly constricted at the septum, oval to elliptical, 
24-30X 37-50; usual size 26x 40y. Pedicel long, about twice 
the length of the spores, weak, hyaline, but fw/vous near spores; 
somewhat attenuated near base. Septum often oblique or even 
perpendicular to the insertion of the pedicel. 1-celled teleuto- 
spores sparingly present. 
On Salvia ballotacflora, San Marcos, Texas, Nov. 19, 1900; 
no. 836. 
The main points of difference between this and P. farinacea 
are as follows: Length and shape of teleutospores; this species 
having much longer and more elliptical spores; is also plainly 
constricted at septum, with upper and lower cell strongly verru- 
cose, while P. farinacea has lower cell only faintly or not at all 
verrucose, with entire pedicel hyaline, and P. dal/lotacflora has 
pedicel fulvous near the spore.
