254 BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN MEMOIRS 



123. PucciNiA LiGUSTiCi Ell. & Ev. Bull. Torrey Club 22: 263. 1895. 

 Puccinia luteobasis Ell. & Ev. Bull. Torrey Club 24: 457. 1897. 



On Umbelliferae: 



Ligusticum apiifolium (Nutt.) Gray — Corvallis, 191 1, 1166, April 

 15, 1913, F. D. Bailey, 3080, March 23, 1914, G. B. Posey, 3328, 

 March 22, 1914, G. H. Godfrey, 254g; Orenco, Washington Co., 

 June 23, 1913, jo/p. 



124. Puccinia luxuriosa Sydow, Monog. Ured. i: 812. 1904. 

 Puccinia tosta liixurians Arth. Bull. Torrey Club 29: 229. 1902, 



On Poaceae: 



Sporohohis airoides Torr. — Andrews, Harney Co., Aug. 1901, 

 Griffiths & Morris (Griffiths, W. Am. Fungi J04). 



Bethel (Phytopath. 7: 93. 191 7) has reported successful cultures 

 of this rust on Sarcobatus vermicidatus , amply supported by field 

 observations. Arthur (Mycol. i: 234. 1909) has infected that host 

 with teliospores of P. suhnitens (cf. 167) from Nevada. Bethel, 

 however, failed to obtain infection on an}^ of the aecial hosts for that 

 species with teliospores from Sporoholus airoides in Colorado. It is 

 possible that the two forms represent biological races of the same 

 species and should be united. 



125. Puccinia Majanthae (Schum.) Arth. & Holw. Bull. Lab. Nat. 



Hist. Univ. Iowa 5: 188. 1901. 



Aecidium Majanthae Schum. Enum. PI. Saell. 2: 224. 1803. 



Puccinia sessilis Schneider, in Schroter Abh. Schles. Ges. 49: 19. 

 1870. 

 On Poaceae: 



Phalaris arundinacea L.— Beulah, Malheur Co., Aug. 1901, 

 Griffiths & Morris (Griffiths, W. Am. Fungi 26a). 



No culture work has been reported in America. In Europe the 

 aecia have been fouhd on Allium, Arum, Convallaria and various other 

 related hosts. Various names have been given to the different bio- 

 logical forms (Klebahn, Die Wirtsw. Rostp. 263-272. 1904; Sydow, 

 Monog. Ured. i: 776-784. 1904). Aecia on Smilacina, Polygotiatum, 

 Maianthemum and Uvularia from the central and eastern United 

 States doubtless belong here in whole or in part. 



126. Puccinia Malvacearum Bert. Gay's Hist, de Chile 8: 43. 1852. 

 On Malvaceae: 



Abutilon ? sp. (cultivated shrub) — Corvallis, May, 1914, W. E. 

 Lawrence, 3364, Nov. 17, 1914, W. E. Lawrence, jj^j, Jan. 12, 1915, 

 262/. 



Althaea ficifolia Cav. — The Dalles, Wasco Co., Aug. 25, 1915, E. 

 Bartholomew (Barth. Fungi Columb. 4758, N. Am. Ured. 1559).
