Hemileia Berk. 

 Hemileia Canthii B. & Br. 



On leaves of Canthium campanula.tum Thw., Peradeniya, 

 May, 1908 ; Minuwangoda, December, 1908. 



The pustules are orange-red, deeper in colour and smaller 

 than those of Hemileia vastatrix B. & Br. In the uredo-spores 

 of H. vastatrix the processes are thicker, blunt, and more 

 crowded, giving a broad toothed margin to the spore, which 

 is not evident in H. Canthii. Massee (Diseases of Cultivated 

 Plants and Trees, p. 330) states that H. Canthii is identical 

 with //. vastatrix, but the experimental proof of that is wanting.
