The so-called '" capitata" form is common on most si)ecies 

 except L. violacea. Paraphyses usually accompany this form, 

 and are mostly absent in the tyjncal one, but many exceptions 

 occur. 



Schweinitz (Syn. Fung. Car. [1822] Nos. 497 and 498) 

 describes this species under the names Puccinia Lespedezoi 

 pmcfiiiihoifis (497) and P. Lespedezw poli/sfacJii/a' (498).

Persoon, in 1794 (Roemer's N. Mag. I, p. 98). named a 

 fungus Uredo Faha^, and this is presumably the uredo form of 

 the present species. In 1801 (Syn. Fung. p. 221) he described 

 under the name of Uredo Vicice Fahce what is no doubt the 

 teleutoform. DeBary (Ann. Sc. Nat. IV. XX. [1868] ) wrote 

 Uroniyces Fahtc.
