Prov. Benguet, on inflorescence of Palgonum chinense 
(Mearns). This form was sent to Mr. Peteh by Mr. 
Merrill and the following is the very interisting 
note from Petch on the Philippine specimen: ‘‘It is 
undoubtedly Ustilago treubii Solms although I have 
‘not seen this particular form of the gall in Ceylon 
and it is not figured by Solms. Massee, Text Book 
of Plant Diseases 1899, 216 says that Ustilago treu- 
bii Solms is the same as Ustilago emodensis Berk. 
He has probably seen the type of the latter and may 
be right, but the identification is certainly not war- 
ranted by Berkeley’s description as quoted in Saccardo.
