On Circica hiteiiana. 



Biology. — Schroter pointed out the two spore-forms, and that, 

 while the paler teleutospores germinated at once on the living host- 

 plant, the darker ones only did so after a period of rest. The resting 

 spores are often produced on the stems, petioles, and midribs. 



Puccinia veronicarum. D. C. 



Teleutospores — Sori pulVinate, compact, firm, dark cliestnut-brown, 

 often greyish. Spores fusiform, surmounted with a thickened 

 conical point, constricted in the middle, 35-40 X i5-2o/x. 

 Epispore smooth, thick, pale or dark brown, 6-9/x thick at 

 the apex of the spore, colourless above. Pedicels firm, yellow- 

 ish, 24-46/x long (Schrot.).
