I.HSTRIBUTION: Known only from type locality. 



This is very similar to Aecidium Urticac Solium., which is connected 

 with Piiccinia Cariri.s (Schum.) Schrot. on Cure-r, except for having 

 smaller aeciospores and peridia more delicate in general. Repeated trial 

 sowings of Puccin'm Caricis on Bochmcria have uniformly failed, while 

 ii'fections have been easily obtained on Urtica. This species of Aecidium 

 is therefore no doubt distinct and may belong with some other Carcx- 

 inhabiting Piicvinia.

 DLSTRIBLTION: Known only from type locality. 



A very characteristic species. No clues as to possible telial connec- 

 tion. It may, however, belong with some telial form inhabiting some host 

 other than a grass or sedge.

LorantJivs sp., Guatemala.

 vioTisly described species on this host.
