Perhaps the host-plant was mistaken; no Puccinia on 

 Scabiosa is known. 



X kxodochcs curtus Cooke, Micr. Fung. p. 201. Plowr. Ured. p. 228. 

 Not a Oredine, but may be a species of Hyphomycetes.

This record depends, so far as this country is concerned, od 

 a single leaf which was sent to M. C. Cooke by a correspondent . 

 who informed him (on the authority of another person) that 

 the leaf belonged to Burbarea jiraecox. But on examination 

 the leaf is seen to be one of the radical leaves of Lapsana 

 communis, of which it has the peculiar hairs, and the fungus is 

 obviously sEcidium Lapsanae. The true jE. Barbareae is quite 

 different. The leaf is preserved in the Kew Herbarium. 



Mi ii'iUM ixcarceratcm B. et Br. Plowr. Ured. p. 207. 



Plowright's suspicion that this is merely Doassansia Sagit- 

 tariae (on Sagittaria sagittifolia) is perfectly correct. 



jEcidium pseudo-coloixare J. Kiihn. 



Recorded in Plowright, Ured. p. 271, on "Abies pectinata, 

 nordmanniana, amabilis,cephalonica. Lyme Regis, Mr Munro." 

 Nothing else seems to be known of this as British ; most likely 

 the specimens belonged to Calyptospora Goeppertiana, or were 

 introduced on imported plants. jE. pseudo-columnare differs 

 from the secidium of C. Goeppertiana in having oblong white 

 spores which are larger, more irregular in form, unevenly warted 

 or even smooth at the end (see Hedwigia, 1885. xxiv. 108). 



Uredo Oxalidis. 



There is a specimen bearing this name in the Herbarium of 

 the British Museum, on leaves of Oxalis Acetosella (W. Phillips, 

 Juh- 31, 1880) from " Orton " ; and a similar one, part of the 

 same gathering, in the Kew Herbarium, from Orton Longueville, 

 Hunts. (Rev. M. J. Berkeley, August, 1880). Both these are 

 not Uredines, but show marks probably of insect-bites.
