162 MORPHOLOGY AND TAXONOMY [Bot. Absts., Vol. IV, 



1045. Woodburn, William L. Preliminary notes on the embryology of Reboulia hemi- 

 sphaerica. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 46:461^64. PI. 19. 1919.— Some observations are 

 made on the behavior of the sperm nucleus in early stages of fusion. The earliest divisions of 

 the zygote are transverse and may form a tier of four cells, or may be more irregular. The 

 hypobasal cell evidently forms the foot, and the epibasal the stalk and the capsule. — P. A.

 semble very closely those of certain bamboos, although the two are not related. The rusts 

 on these genera have also been confused and in this paper, a comparison is drawn between 

 three tropical rusts: Puccinia pallescens on Tripsacum, Puccinia phaksopsoroides on Olyra,
