180 BRITISH FUNGI. 



with the epidermis, which is depressed in the centre and perforated, 

 nearly black ; pseudospores subovoid, rather small, somewhat apicu- 

 late, brown, smooth, peduncles very short. — Corcla Icones, iv. f. 

 54. B. ^Br. Ann. N.H., No. 1466. 



On Senecio a juatica. Menmuir (Rev. M. Anderson) . 



This is clearly allied to P. glomerata, Grev., and P. conglomerata, 

 Kze. ; indeed they have been confounded together as synonymous, 

 but without good I'eason, since all three appear to be distinct from 

 each other. 



Puccinia Tripoli!. Wallr. Fl. Germ., 223. 



Sori large, compact ; pseudospores elongated, truncate at the 

 apex, biuodulose, or with a thick mammseform appendage. — B. ^ Br. 

 Ann. N.H. No. 1467. Puce. Asteris, Cooke Fungi Britt. i., No. G31. 



On leaves of Aster t7'ipolrum. New Pitsligo (Rev. J. Fergus- 

 son). Near King's Lynn (C. B. Plowright). 



British specimens agree with those found on the continent on the 

 same Aster, and which are referred to Puccinia Tripolii, Wallr, 

 Fuckel has described and published specimens of Puccinia Asteris' 

 (Fckl.) on leaves of Aster simplex, which does not appear to be 

 specifically distinct. To this latter form we referred the specimens 

 published in Fungi Britannici (ed. i., No. 631), but are convinced 

 that all would be better placed under Puccinia Tripolii, Wallr. 

 Puccinia Asteris, Schwein, is different, of which doubtless Pi^ccmm 

 Gerardi, Howe, is a variety. There appears to be slight variations 

 peculiar to the different species of Aster, on which this common 

 North American Puccinia is found, but none of them are sufficient 

 to warrant the conclusion that they are distinet species. 



Puccinia Scrophulaxiae. Libert Exs., No. 193. Cooke EandhooTt, No. 



1476. 



As far as Libert's specimens go this is not a species of Puccinia 

 at all, but of Uromyces. If the specimens found at Penzance, and 

 cited by Berk. & Br. in Annals Nat. Hist., No. 471, be the same 

 thing, then it must henceforth be included in its correct genus as 

 Uromyces Scrophularice.

Trichohasis Geranii. Cooke Handbook, No. 1589, Fungi 

 Britannici, i., 440, ii. 50, with fig. 



The specimens published, as above cited, are certainly Uromyces, 

 and not Trichohasis. 



Coleosporium senecionis. Fr. S. V. S., 512. 



Fckl, Sym. Myc, p. 43. — Trichohasis senecionis, Cooke Hand- 

 book; No. 1485, Fungi Britannica, i., QQ, ii. 53, with fig. 



It seems very doubtful whether this has any relation to Puccinia 

 glomerata, as some authors have stated,
