ON THE UREDINEAE PARASITIC ON THE JAPANESE GRAMINEAE. 219 



Remarks. The characteristic of the present species is, as its specific 

 name indicates, a deep reddish color of pedicels of its teleiitospores. 



This is one of the two species of Puccinia hitherto known to be parasitic 

 on linpcrata ariiudiiincca var. Koenigii, another species being Puccinia 

 Eiilaliae. 



According to my own observations, the maximum length of its teleiito- 

 spores is 42 p., while DlKTEi^ (6) limitted it to 33 /;.

REMARKS. Comparing the specimens of this fungus with the description 

 by DiETEL, I feel it necessary to make the two following remarks. 



1. Although in the original description of the present species by 

 DiETEL, the sorus is said to be epiphyllous, my own observation shows, the 

 fact to be just the opposite. The type specimen as well as all other speci- 

 mens I have examined present invariably the hypophyllous sori. 



2. In regard to the size of the uredospore, there are some differences
