214 ARTHUR-BISBY— TRANSLATION OF SCHWEINITZ'S 



2863. 53. C. A. Lysimachiatum, Lk. 126, Syn. Car. 438, absolutely the same. 



In Pennsylvania, generally on L. racemosa. 

 (438. 9. [^cidium] Lysimachise Sz. 



A. diffuse, pale, rather small, epiphyllous, peridia crowded, den- 

 tate, spore-mass somewhat flesh colored. 



On leaves of Lysimachia quadrifolia and stricta, unless per- 

 chance two species exist; for the one on quadrifolia is not pale, but 

 tinged with a red color. It makes a rather small spot on the upper 

 surface of the leaves.) 



Represented by a somewhat torn leaf, 1.5 by 4 cm., bearing be- 

 neath a rather diffuse, compound group of old aecia, and by an empty 

 packet labelled inside "^Ecidium Lysimachise in L. quadrifol Sal," 

 and on the outside ".-Ecidium Lysimachiatum in L. quadrif. 

 Salem." 



Schweinitz's statement, "absolutely the same," doubtless refers 

 to a note in Link's work as to the identity of American and Euro- 

 pean material, which mycologists still hold in general with Schwei- 

 nitz to be one, although Link was too uncertain about the matter to 

 accept Schweinitz's naiaie as a basis or even as a synonym of his 

 C. Lysimachiatum, founded upon Schlechtendahl's C. Lysimachia:, 

 which was published two years later than Schweinitz's name. The 

 fungus is now accounted the aecial stage of the Carcx rust, usually 

 called Puccinia limosce Magn., a widely scattered but rather local 

 species, recently given the name P. lysimachiata (Link) Kern, there 

 being already a P. Lysimachice of Karsten, 1879. 



Both spot and aecia on the mounted leaf still appear reddish, as 

 stated by Schweinitz for L. quadrifolia. The two names, L. stricta 

 Ait. and L. racemosa Lam., are now considered synonyms of L. ter- 

 restris (L.) B. S. P. 



2864. 54. C. A. Pentstemoniatum, L.v.S., 8311. Car. 449, Lk, p. 47, only ob- 



served in Carolina. 

 (449. 20. [^cidium] Pentastemonis Sz. 



A. orbicular, rather small, dense, purple, yellow beneath, peridia 

 white, congested. 



Not infrequent on leaves and stems of Pentastemon hirsutus. 

 Distinct species. Two lines broad. Peridia large for the size of the 

 plants. Spores yellow-brown, simple, vericulose.)
