Remarks. I agree with DiETEf. (8) in his view as to the wide varia- 

 tion in color (from light brown to deep chestnut-brown) of the paraphyses, 

 and also as to the deeper color of the pedicel at its upper portion. 



The teleutosori of this species have never described. I was able, how- 

 ever, to observe that stage, on the specimen collected by Prof. K. MlYABE 

 in 1882 at Mt. Nokogiri, Prov. Awa. The teleutosori are hypophyllous, 

 small, oblong or liiicar on brownish discolored spots, and are scattered or 

 gregarious, sometimes confluent. They are naked, with torn cijidermis, 

 somewhat pulvinate, and blakish chestnut-brown in color. 



In 1906, Sydow and Butler (i) reported this species to be parasitic on 

 the same host-plant in India and they have noted that the teleutospore of 

 the Indian species has a thicker wall than that of the Japanese species.
