An interesting article appeared in the Berichte der Deutschen 

 Botanischen Gesellschafft, Jahrgang 1904, Band XXII, Heft 7, 

 entitled "Puccinia Ruebsaumeni P. Magn. n. sp., eine einen ein-

 (P. Schneideri Schroet.) from which it differs in its larger 

 spores ; it is restricted to Origanon vulgare. A plate of figures 

 shows the hexenbesen, mycelium with haustoria in situ and the 

 teleutospores.
