Rarasbottom, J., Notes on the Nomenclature ofFungi. II 

 and III. (Journ. Bot. LIV. p. 76—80. Mar. 1916.) 



In Note II it is pointed out that the practice of writing with an 

 initial capital specific names derived from the host-plant is the cor- 

 rect one according to International Rules. 



Note III is a discussion of the correct nomenclature for the 

 genus. Cystoptis or Albugo. 



Since, according to Rules, the nomenclature of the Phycornyce- 

 tes begins with Fries' Systema Mj'^cologicum, Cystopus is correct, 

 as Albugo antedates this work. 



The author points out, however, that if the genus is regarded 

 as beginning with Leveille, who first used the name, some chan- 

 ges would have to be made in the usual designation of species. 

 ßut it seems more logical to date the genus from De Bary, who 

 first described the sexual or „perfect" form of ,,Uredo Portulacae''\ 

 and used for it the name Cystopus, at the same time giving a revi- 

 sion of the genus. In other words Cystopus, Lev. refers to the co- 

 nidial stage only; Cystopus, De Bary to the perfect stage. 



By regarding the specific names as beginning with De Bary, 

 the majority of the names in common use are retained, but C.Tva- 

 gopogouis must be replaced by C. cuhicis.
