though here never reaching such rich development as that of the sori on 

 the overside. The teleutospores often have an obhque insertion of the 

 pedicel, in extreme cases vertical septum. Monstrous, clavate, 3 — 4-locular 

 spores are to be found here and there among the normal ones.

Puccinia Urbaniana P. Henn. Hedw. 1898 p. 278. — On Stachy- 

 tarpheta sp. 



With this species the Stachytarpheta-Puccinia examined will have to 

 be identified. The macroscopical aspect is very characteristic and agreeing 

 with that of the description of the said species (H. et P. Sydow: Monogr. 

 Ured. I Puccinia p. 310). Microscopically our specimens differ by having 

 still more varying sporeforms than has P. Urbaniana (vide H. et P. Sydow 

 1. c. tab. XXI). From the nearly globose less frequent mesospores, trans- 

 itions to very lengthened forms of spores are to be found, which almost 

 until apex are hardly broader than the pedicel. The thickening of the 

 membrane (as a rule uniform all over the whole cell) is often very con- 

 spicuous until ^/i of the diameter of the cell.

The teleutospores are chained, hyaline and enclosed in pseudoperidia 

 as a rule appearing on the overside of the leaf as small yellowish papilla? 

 that are sometimes hornshaped lengthened.
