"Hypogenous. Spots sometimes definite, purple, yellow-bordered, 

 more often effused, on the leaves scarcely thickened, on the petioles 

 and stems swollen ; secidia subcircinate or irregularly scattered, 

 short, deeply and rather coarsely split and much recurved; spores 

 subglobose or elliptical (vertical diameter shorter), epispore thin, 

 apparently smooth, contents finely granular, 15-18 by 18-20 /x; sper- 

 mogonia clustered above in the center of the definite spots, otherwise 

 sparsely scattered on both sides of leaf." Burrill, Parasitic Fungi 

 of Illinois, p. 224.

 brown, forming spots, often confluent spores elliptical ; oval or sub- 

 clavate, constricted in the middle, apices rotund or attenuated, tip
