ON LEGUMINOS/E 95 



[iEcidia on Euphorbia Oyparissias ;] uredo- and teleuto- 

 spores on Lotas angustiasimus, L. corniculatus ; July, August. 

 (Fig. 46.) 



Plowright refers to this species (but not as British) in a note on 

 p. 13-t. The markings on the teleutospore are very delicate and can 

 scarcely be seen except when the material is fresh and the spores are 

 viewed dry. I found that the longitudinal lines of warts were more 

 strongly marked and anastomosed more frequently on spores from L. 

 cor niculatus than from L. angustissimus (Xewquay, Cornwall), on which 

 they were fainter and more irregular, but this difference may have been 

 partly due to the fact that the Litter had been gathered (by Dr Vigurs) 

 many years before they were examined. Jordi proved that tecidiospores 

 from E. Cyparissias would freely infect L. comiculatus. But see U. Pisi. 



Distribution : Western, Central and Southern Europe, 

 and Japan.

JJredospores. Sori amphigenous, widely and irregularly 

 scattered, or sometimes with a circle of small ones 

 round a larger one, minute, roundish, black and 

 shining, soon naked, then pulverulent, cinnamon ; 

 spores globose or subglobose, sparsely and finely 

 echinulate, yellowish-brown, 18 — 25/x ; epispore 3 — 

 3i jx thick, with 4 — 6 germ-pores (4 — 5, Bubak ; Anthyllidis.' 

 5 — 8, Fischer). Uredospore. 



Teleutospores. Sori similar, but darker in colour. Spores 

 globose to ovate, with a minute papilla at the rounded apex, 

 verrucose, brown, 16 — 22x15 — 20^,; epispore rather thick; 

 pedicels short, hyaline, deciduous. 



On leaves of Anthyllis Vulneraria. Not common. June — 

 October. (Fig. 47.) 



It is probable that this species occurs only on A. Vulneraria (and on 

 the continent, A. maritima), but it has many close allies on other 

 Leguminosse. Teleutospores are rarely formed ; in specimens gathered in 

 mid-September I have found only one or two, in the midst of abundant
