O. Pycnia epiphyllous, few, gregarious in the center of lighter colored spots, noticeable, 
depressed-globoid, 100-120 » high by 100-175 » broad; ostiolar filaments short. 
II. Uredinia of the primary form chiefly epiphyllous, crowded and somewhat confluent 
in concentric groups 2.2 mm. across, surrounding the pyenia, early naked, pulverulent, cin- 
namon-brown, ruptured epidermis conspicuous; secondary uredinia amphigenots, numerous, 
scattered, roundish, small, 0.2-0.5 mm. across, early naked, pulverulent, cinnamon-brown, 
ruptured epidermis noticeable; urediniospores of both forms obovoid or broadly ellipsoid, 
18-23 by 23-28 yu, pale cinnamon-brown, 1.5-3 » thick, prominently and sparsely echinulate, 
the pores 2 or 3, approximately equatorial. 
III. Telia amphigenous, scattered, round, small, 0.2-0.5 mm. across, early naked, at 
first pulvinate becoming somewhat pulverulent, blackish-brown, ruptured epidermis con- 
spicuous; teliospores oblong or broadly ellipsoid, 22-26 by 30-38 u, rounded at both ends, 
not or scarcely constricted at septum; wall dark cinnamon- or chestnut-brown, 2.5-3 u thick, 
slightly thickened at apex, 4-5 yu, finely and evenly verrucose-rugose, the pore of lower cell 
below the middle; pedicel colorless, short, usually deciduous, often attached laterally.

Puccinia semiinsculpta Arth. Bot. Gaz. 40: 204. 1905, 
O. Pyenia epiphyllous, few in small groups, punctiform, honey-yellow becoming brown 
immersed, globoid, 150-180 » across. 
II. Uredinia of the primary form epiphyllous, surrounding the pyenia on yellowish 
hypertrophied spots with purple border; secondary uredinia scattered, round, small, 0.2-0.3 
mm, across, soon naked, pale cinnamon-brown, pulverulent, ruptured epidermis noticeable; 
urediniospores of both forms broadly ellipsoid, obovoid, or globoid, 18-26 by 22-30 u; wall 
golden-yellow fading to nearly colorless, moderately thick, 1.5-3 yu, sparsely and evenly echinu- 
late, the pores indistinct, 2 or 3, equatorial. 
III. Telia amphigenous, or often only epiphyllous, scattered, round, small, 0.2-0.5 mm. 
across, often confluent, soon naked, compact or pulverulent, chocolate-brown, becoming 
cinereous from germination, ruptured epidermis inconspicuous; teliospores ellipsoid or ellip- 
soid-obovoid, 22-38 by 38-504, rounded above, rounded or somewhat narrowed below, 
slightly or not constricted at septum; wall golden-brown in the germinating form to chocolate- 
brown in the pulverulent form, 3-6 w thick, slightly or not thicker at apex, 4-10 4, much 
thinner at base in the germinating form, with irregular, crowded sculpturing, finely to coarsely 
reticulate-verruicose; pedicel colorless, rather slender, 5-9 » thick, once to twice length of 
spore, minutely rugose, or nearly smooth.
