USTILAGINE^ AND UREUINE^ OF CEYLON. 237 



An examination of the type specimen of the latter shows that 

 it answers exactly to Henning's description and McAlpine's 

 photograph of the spores of P. Pritzeliana. There can be no 

 doubt that the two species are identical ; and they are on the 

 same host plant and practically from the same district. 

 Henning's name is therefore superfluous.] 



Phragmidium Link. 



Phragmidium ? orientale Syd. 



On Ruhus moluccanus L., Hakgala, May, 1910. On R^ihus 

 ellijiticus Sm., Hakgala. May, 1910. Uredo onty. 



Paraphyses and spore wall yellow-brown, not hyaline, as in 

 the description of Phragmidium orientale. 



Triphragmium Link. 



Triphragmium clavellosum Berk. 



This was described by Berkeley in the Gardeners' Chronicle. 

 1857. It was subsequently recorded by Berkeley and Broome 

 from Ceylon on Paratrofe terebinthacea , and at the same time 

 Berkeley and Broome described Triphragmium Thwaitesii on 

 leaves of Hedera Vahlii, also from Ceylon. The names of the 

 host plants are sjTionyms (= Heptapleurutn stellatum Gsertn.), 

 and, as Massee has already pointed out (Grev., XXL, p. 118), 

 the fungi are identical. 



In a recent re-description (Saccardo, XVI., p. 322) the spots 

 are said to be fuscous, and the sori hypophyllous. In Ceylon 

 the spots are yellow and bullate when fresh and the sori are 

 epiphyllous.
