white margin; spores with a thin, colourless, faintly warted 

 membrane, 14 — 21 fi. 



Uredospores. Sori mostly hypophyllous, roundish, scattered 



or in minute clusters, on the 

 Mi-ins linear, soon naked, clear 

 chocolate-brown ; spores globose 

 to pyriform, brown, finely echinu- 

 late, 18 — SO /j., with two mostly 

 equatorial germ-pores. 



Teleutospores. Sori similar, but 

 long covered by the epidermis; 

 sports ellipsoid to clavate, rounded 

 or conical above and thickened ( up 

 to 7 fj, or more), distinctly con- 

 stricted, tapering below, smooth, clear brown, 30 — 52 x 17 — 21 //. ; 

 pedicels short.

Distinguished by Wurth from P. punctata on the ground of cultures: 

 the teleutosporea have, he says, a less thick cap, which is pale at the apex, 

 and the uredospores have only two germ-pores. Description mainly after 

 Fischer and Wurth. and not agreeing exactly with my specimens ; the 

 species is hardly distinguishable, however, frcm P. punctata. Fischer 

 figures also three-celled teleutospores.
