I have found a fungus, at Banchory-Ternan, near Aberdeen 

 (in Dee), in August, on Pimpinella Saxifraga (Sc. Nat. 

 1887, p. 40) which may be a variety of S. wgopodina. 



The following is its description : 



Spots indeterminate in form, purple, becoming fuscous in 



centre, small ; pycnidia minute, 60-80 diam, innate, pale 



brown, ostiole pretty large ; sporidia very slender, 20-25
