at apex ; lower cell tajDering towards base ; 44 - 60 X 17 - 20- 5^0,. 

 Pedicel light grey, several times as long as teleutospore. 



Mesospores similarly coloured and stalked, ovoid with trun- 

 cated apex, 25 - 28 X 16 - 19/x. 



On under surface of leaves of Correa Laivrenciana. Very 

 common on one bush in damp gully, but never found on any 

 other, although plant is common. December. Eastern slope of 

 Mount Wellington, Tasmania (Rodway, 6). 



The sori stand out very distinctly from the cinnamon-brown 

 under surface of the leaves, causing corresponding circular 

 depressions on upper surface, of a yellowish-green colour. 



(4) Puccinia Ereclititis, McAlp., n. sp. 



yEcidiospores. — >3^]cidia on stem and leaves, causing distortion 

 and swelling, pale yellow at first, becoming orange-yellow, 

 arranged close together in lines or irregularly. Pseucloperidia 

 cup-shaped, with white, torn, revolute edges. ^cidiospores 

 variable in shape, irregularly round or oval, orange-yellow, 

 smooth, 19-16/ax17 — \'lp.. Very connnon all the year round, 

 except during middle of summer. 



Teleiitospores. — Sori for a long time covered by epidermis, 

 black, crowded together and forming a swelling. Teleutospore s 

 yellow-brown, pedicellate, elongated, consti'icted at middle ; 

 upper cell dark brown, rounded or pointed and thickened .at 

 apex ; lower cell usually yellow and taj^ering towards base, 

 elongated, wedge-shaped, 54 - 57/x x 19 - 25^. Pedicels persis- 

 tent, very pale yellow, to transparent, .38/a long. Found from 

 April to June, but very rare. 



On Erechtites qicadridentata ? Ardmona in Goulburn Valley,

(5) Puccinia Hieracii, JNIart. 



Uredospores. — Sori on upper and less often on under surface 

 of leave.s, dark purplish-brown, numerous, scattered, becoming 

 confluent, bullate, surrounded by torn epidermis. Uredospores 

 globose or elliptic, golden-V)rown, finely echinulate, about 28 -5 /x 

 in dia., or 33 - 27/i, x 25/a. 



Tekutospores. — Along with uredospores. Sori blackish-brown, 

 usually confluent, on much withered basal leaves. Teleuto-
