PAPERS GIVING RUSTS OF NORTH AMERICA. 255 



stage of some ascomycete but is certainly not a rust. No spores 

 were found. As the host is a labiate and not an umbellifer, Link's 

 name could not in any case be applicable. 



*2936. S2. P. anemones, Lk. n. 33, very rare on leaves of A. quinquefolia, 

 but most distinct, Bethlehem. 



Represented only by an empty packet, which is labelled inside 

 " Dicaeoma punctata Deetw," with the later addition above of " Puc- 

 cinia anemones," and on the outside " 2 Puccinia Anemones Beth 

 Deetwyler," and also a word preceding the last one which is not 

 wholly legible. 



There is practically no doubt that this number covers the rust 

 on the host as stated, now called Polythelis fusca (Pers.) Arth. 



2937- 22i- P- sohda, L.v.S., Syn. Car. 486. [as P.] Anem. virginian, frequent 

 on leaves of Anemone virginiana, Salem and Bethlehem. 

 P. without spots. Sori sparse, rather large, so very compact that 



they appear solid, black. Spores at length somewhat 



loosened. Sori dispersed over the whole leaf, at first yellow 



and more or less impressed. 

 (486. I. [Puccinia] Anemones Virginianse Sz. 



P. punctiform, sparse, chestnut brown, spores clavate, at- 

 tenuate into a short pedicel, bilocular. 



Spores under the lens yellowish-white ; they pass into the 

 pedicel so that it is not possible to distinguish where they begin.) 



Represented by an empty packet, labelled " Puccinia solida LvS 

 in Anem. Vir." 



A widespread and well-known species, still bearing the earlier 

 name here given. 



2938. 34. P. circseje, Lk. 43, Syn. Car. 491, common, and Bethlehem. 

 (491. 6. [Puccinia] Circsege, frequent on leaves of Circsea.) 



Represented by a packet containing parts of three leaves, the 

 best preserved being about 3 by 5 cm., and labelled " 2 Puccinia 

 Circaese Germ & B & S," with cancellation marks across " Germ." 

 Two of the leaves are faded and pressed smooth, the third is nat- 

 ural green and crumpled by drying. The rust and host, undoubt- 

 edly C. Lutetiana, are common and widespread, although no other 

 collection of the rust is yet known so far south.
