The name ado])ted is from Uirdo sonrhi-arrensis, Persoon. 

 For the fungi here included many names have been proposed 

 under the idea of specific distinctness. But whatever differ- 

 ences exist seem to l^e so connected by intermediate forms that 

 those upon tlie liost-plants named are considered specifically 

 identical. There are, therefore, included such as have been 

 named Uredo Solid(i(/ims, Schw., U. terehinfhini., Schw., Coleo- 

 sipormm composifaruni, Lev., Uredo or Cceoma eJephantopodis, 

 Schw., Coleosporiiim Vernonice, B.& C, and C. Solidaginis, Thiim. 

 Perhaps the form on Vernonia differs more than others from 

 the type on account of the uredospores being smaller, and the 

 teleutospores being more enlarged above. On Elcpliatifopus 

 the teleutosori are grouped in circles.

 clavate, cons])icuously 4-6-se|)tate, about 10 by 26 ^w. segments 

 widest transversely.
