J-'.riiliospores. Caeomata hypophyllous, irregular, flattened, 

 scattered or concentric, often confluent, without a peridium, 

 orange-yellow ; spores round or elliptic, often somewhat angular, 

 verrucose, orange, 15 — 30 x 15 — 20 /x. 



On Arum maculatum. Very rare; near Salisbury, April, 

 1897 (Mr E. J. Tatum). Found also in France and Germany. 



Requien's description is as follows : Uredo hypophylla, maculis Litis 

 lutescenti-albidis sparsis, acervulis rufis, annulatiui digestis, orbicularibus 

 ovatisve, compactis, planis, epidermide rupta cinctis, sporidiis dilute rufis, 

 grossis, pellucidis, subglobosis. 



Phragmidium tuberculatum J. Miiller. 



This species is recorded for Britain by Sydow (Monographia, 

 iii. 114), on the ground that it was distributed by Baxter, 

 ■' Stirp. Crypt. Oxon." no. 37. There are specimens of this 

 ixsiccatum both at Kew and in the British Museum, but in 

 both these the fungus on Rose-leaves is typical Ph. disciflorum, 

 almost all the teleutospores having six septa, not 3 — 5 as in 

 Ph. tuberculatum. The latter species, being widely distributed 

 in Europe, is likely to be found here, but the evidence of its 

 occurrence is at present insufficient. 



There is in Herb. Kew an secidium on "Atriplex littoralis, 

 Maldon, Essex, M. A. Irvine," June 1st, 1864. iEcidia hypo- 

 phyllous, covering the whole leaf, densely crowded, shortly 

 cylindrical, with a slightly torn margin. Of this nothing else 

 seems to be known.
