274 BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN MEMOIRS 



Tranzschel (Trans. Bot. Acad. St. Petersb. ii: 67-69. 1905) was 

 the first to culture this species showing that aecia occur on Anemone. 



In America Arthur (Jour. Myc. 12: 19. 1906; 13: 199. 1907) 

 has shown that the aecia on Hepatica common in the eastern United 

 States are genetically connected.

This species differs from U. Limonii in the shorter, broader telio- 

 spores and the short mostly deciduous pedicel. The first collection 

 mentioned bears aecia accompanied by uredinia, the second, uredinia 

 and telia only. The rust is abundant on a cliff near the seashore. 

 So far as we are aware this is the first record of this species in America. 



182. Uromyces Beckmanniae sp. nov. 



O and I. Pycnia and aecia unknown. 



II. Uredinia amphigenous, scattered, elliptical, 0.5-0.8 mm. long, 

 soon naked, pulverulent, cinnamon brown, ruptured epidermis notice- 

 able; paraphyses none; urediniospores globoid or broadly ellipsoid, 

 19-24 by 23-30 jx, wall colorless or pale yellow, 2-2.5 M thick, finely 

 verrucose-echinulate, pores 8-10, scattered. 



III. Telia amphigenous and culmicolous, scattered or crowded, 

 oblong, 0.4-0.7 mm. across, often confluent to form crusts or lines, 

 tardily naked, blackish brown ; teliospores obovoid or ellipsoid, angular, 

 20-26 by 29-40^1, apex rounded or angular, narrowed below; wall 

 chestnut brown, 1-2 ju thick, smooth, but showing distinct longi- 

 tudinal ridges, apex thickened, 3-6 n, pedicel colorless or slightly 

 tinted next to the spore, equalling the spore or usually deciduous.
