PHYTOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS. 171 
Sherman county, June 1893, A. S. Hitchcock; Ford, Hamilton and 
Seward counties, summer of 1892, Hitchcock. 
This species is common throughout the western part of the state, and 
usually renders abortive each plant attacked. 
Issued in Fungi Columbiani, as Uromyces sophore, Pk. Critical exami- 
nations made from the large amount of material on hand convince me 
that the two names here given belong to the same species, and as the 
former has the priority I have given it the preference.

Desm. Pl. Crypt. ed. 2d, No. 170. 
On Juncus tenuis, Rooks county, Aug. 1892. 
On Eleocharis palustris, Rooks county, Dec. 1894; Seward county, Oct. 
1892, M. A. Carleton. (Ured. Am. No. 23.)

14. Uromyces lespedezze, (Schw.) Peck, III.

15. Uromyces cenotherze, Burrill, I, II. 
1884: Bot. Gazette, p. 187. 
On Cnothera fremonti, Rooks county, Sept. 1887; Phillips county, Oct. 
1895; Graham county, July 1885, Kellerman. 
This species is rare even in the western part of the state, where the host is 
very abundant. 
Doctor Kellerman’s Graham county specimens were labeled in the State 
Agricultural College herbarium ‘‘Puccinia cenotherz, Vise uredo;”’ 
but by a careful examination of his material I find it to be the true 
Uromyces cenothere in both II and III. 
16. Uromyces polygoni, (Pers.) Fckl. II, III. 
1801: Disp. Meth. Fung. p. 39. (Puccinia polygoni, Pers.) 
On leaves of Polygonum aviculare, Manhattan, June 1889, Kellerman and 
Swingle; Cloud county, April 1888, Mitchell county, June 1888, Saline

While rather common and widely distributed, this species is not very de- 
structive to its hosts.
