Remarks. This is the only species of Puccinia on Zoysia hitherto 

 known. DiETEL (6) states tliat his description of the uredospore is not com- 

 plete being unable to get a good specimen. I shall note my own observation 

 on the uredostagc of this fungus in the following paragraph. 



Uredosori, mostly epiphyllous ; minute, oblong or linear, gregarious, 

 often confluent, naked, with ruptured epidermis, pulverulent, light orange- 

 colored. Uredospores, oblong, obovate or broadly ellipsoidal, verrucoso- 

 cchinulate, light yellow or hyaline, iS-22 x ! 5-17," ; germ-pores 2, inconspi- 

 cuous ; epispore thick, especially at the apex ; paraphyses absent in the sori. 



Previous to Dietel's description, a specimen of the same species, col- 

 lected by Mr. T. YOSHIXAGA in 1901, was sent to P. HENNINGS. The 

 author named it Urcdo Zoysicc P. Henn., although its description seems never 

 to have been published. Examining the original specimen of Urcdo Zoysia: 

 P. Henn., I sec no points of difference from our present species.

Remarks. The macroscopical appearance of this species agrees with 

 that of other Puccinia on Bambusea:. But its paraphyses are very charac- 

 teristic being often septate and thick walled. The teleutospores which are 

 not so much thickened at apex, can be distinguished from those of Puccinia 

 Ktisanoi and P. xanthospcnita. The length of pedicel of this fungus is
