656 SUMMARY OF CURRENT RESEARCHES RELATING TO 



Uredineae. He describes the different species of Uromyces found on 

 Alpine Primula. He finds a new species on Vicia onobrychioides which 

 he calls U. valesiacus. He also gives descriptions of several species of 

 Mcidium. 



P. Hennings * finds two new Uredineae on fruits from South America, 

 a Uredo and an /Ecidium. The latter, he considers, belongs to Gymno- 

 sporangium. 



P. Dietel f gives a list of Uredineae and Ustilaginese that are new to 

 the German flora. The work is connected with the report on the flora 

 of Germany. 



The same writer % has published notes on some North American 

 Uredineaa, with special reference to a species of Stichospora. 



P. Hennings § publishes a new species Boudiera Claussenii found 

 growing on dung, and adds notes on several other species from the same 

 substratum. 



Fr. Bubak || finds and describes two new Uredineae on Mercurialis 

 annua in Montenegro, and G. B. Traverso T records 402 species of 

 Micromycetes from the Province of Modena. The new forms, twelve 

 in number, are illustrated by figures in the text. 



Jose Verissimo d'Almeida and M. de Souza da Camara ** contribute 

 a number of micro-fungi found on leaves, fruits, &c. to the flora of 

 Portugal. A number of species are new to science, and one genus, 

 Sporoctomorpha a Pyrenomycete found on leaves of Magnolia. 



Systematic Notes on Fungi.jt — N. Patouillard gives detailed 

 accounts of three species of fungi previously recorded from the West 

 Indies. K. Maire and P. A. Saccardo^l supply biological informa- 

 tion on several parasitic microfungi. P. A. Saccardo §§ describes a disease 

 of Mandarins caused by Altemaria tenuis forma chalaroides Sacc. 

 J. B. Traverso |||| publishes diagnoses of twelve new species of Italian 

 Micromycetes. H. and P. Sydowff give an extensive list, a contribution 

 to the fungus flora of the shore-region and of Istria ; a few of the 

 species are new. Fr. Bubak*** redescribes two fungi parasitic on Mono- 

 cotyledons, Entyloma Dietelimium and Physoderma Debeauxii ; and 

 P. Dietel fft writes on Zaghouania from material collected by Sydow in 

 Istria. He describes the form and development of the teleutospores. 



Franz v. Holmel XXX corrects some misstatements as to the occurrence 

 of Ramularice, on plants of Umbelliferae. He describes two new species 

 of the genus. 



In another contribution,§§§ he points out the sources of error in de- 

 termining genera and species of fungi ; different stages of growth or
