M. LEl'TUROMYCES. Schrot. 



Having only teleutospores, which gonniiiate as soon as they arc mature 

 upon the living host-plant. 



PUCCINIA. Pers. 



Teleutospores separate, pedicellate, produced in flat sori, con- 

 sisting of two superimposed cells, each of which is provided with 

 a germ-pore. The superior cell has its germ-pore, as a rule, 

 piercing its apex ; in the inferior the germ-pore is placed laterally, 

 immediately below the septum. 



I. EUPUCCINIA. Schrot. 



Having spermogonia, EEcidiospores, uredospores, and teleutospores ; the 

 latter germinating only after a period of rest. 



A. AuTEUPUCCiNiA. De Bary. 



Spermogonia, a;cidiospores, uredospores, and teleutospores on the same 

 host-plant. 



Puccinia galii. (Pers.) 



^Ecidiosporcs — Pseudoperidia scattered or clustered in irregular 

 groups, edges torn, whitish. Spores roundish or shortly ellipti- 

 cal, orange-yellow, smooth, 16-23/x in diameter. 



Uredospores — Sori reddish brown, round or oval, often confluent. 

 Spores globose, oval, or ovate, echinulate, pale brown, 20-30 

 X 17-22/U,. 



Teleutospores — Sori black, roundish, persistent. Spores elliptical,
