DECADES or FUNGI. 20? 



* U. endotricka, Berk., in ¥1. Nov. ZeL 



Hab. Infesting the fruit of Carex haccata or some allied species. 

 Khasia. (Hooker and Thomson.) Tambur river. East Nepal. Nov. 

 20. (Dr. Hooker.) 



The spores in the Khasia specimens are much smaller than in 

 those of Ceylon and New Zealand, but the species appears to be the 



same. 



Ts 



inch in diameter, when elongated about 3 3'^- ^ ; in the Ceylon speci- 

 mens they vary from g-^to 3-oVo^ and the same is the case with those 

 from New Zealand. 

 * U, Mnodensis, Berk. 



Hab. Sikkim, 6000 feet. Nangki, East Nepal, 10,000 feet. (Dr. 

 Hooker.) 



Better specimens of this species show that the curious swollen bodies 

 are really excrescences, immediately arising from the stem, and not 



from any transformation of the inflorescence. The spores are 4 5V0 ^^ 

 an inch long, 



468. U. ocrearum, n. s.; ocreas in laminas petaliformes deformans; 

 sporis subovatis irregularibus lilacinis Isevibus, floccis nuUis immixtis, 



Hab. On the ocreae of Polygona. Nangki, East Nepal, 10,000 

 feet. (Dr. Hooker.) 



Changing the ocreee into purple petaliform spathulate expansions. 



Spores subovate, irregular, variable, -35V0 of 

 without any flocci. 



This very curious production is doubtless allied to TJ, Emodenm^ but 

 it does not occur on the same species of Polygonum ; the habit is dif- 



an 



irre 



gular. 



* Uromyces apiculosa, L^v. 



Hab. On Mulgedium Tatarictim. Nubra valley, Tibet, July 28, 



1848. (Dr. Thomson.) 



* JScidium Thomsoni, Berk, in Gard. Chron. 1852, p. 627, cum 

 icone. 



On the leaves of Abies Smithiana. North-western Himalayas, 8000 

 feet. (Thomson.) Sikkim, 9000. (Hooker and Thomson.)
