Biology. — The mycelium of the cecidiospores is perennial, that of 

 the uredospores and teleutospores annual. Schroter found that when 

 the a^cidiospores were sown on healthy plants, a small quantity of the 

 uredospores were produced. I have grown plants affected with the 

 jecidiospore mycelium in a flower-pot, which for three successive years 

 came up affected with the ^cidium. Mr. Soppitt produced the uredo- 

 spores and teleutospores in June, 1888, from the aecidiospores. He 

 states that the teleutospore sori remains longer covered by the 

 epidermis than those of P. adoxa; do. 



Puccinia bupleuri. (D. C.) 



jEcidiospores — Pseudoperidia uniformly scattered over the whole 

 leaf-surface, flat, with torn white edges. Spores polygonal, 

 nearly smooth, 14-21/A in diameter. 



Uredospores — Sori scattered or circinating, small, roundish or 

 irregular. Spores very few, subglobose, verrucose, yellowish 

 brown, 17-23/x, in diameter. 



Teleutospores — Sori numerous, scattered, dark brown, oblong, 

 surrounded by the ruptured epidermis, rather small. Spores 

 broadly elliptical or oblong, apical thickening slight or absent, 

 rounded at both ends, broadly constricted, smooth, dark brown, 

 26-42 X 17-30/^. Pedicels long, deciduous.
