This species, which was formerly confounded with Puccinia sporoboli, 
Arth., on 8. heterolepis, differs much from that, especially in the promi- 
nent gross character of the brown uredosori, which almost completely 
cover the upper sides of the leaves. The uredo of this species is very 
common in many counties of western Kansas from July to October, but 
the III is of very rare occurrence. See also Arth. & Holw. Uredinex

This species is probably common in all parts of the state where these hosts 
are found. One the latter-named host the fungus attack is of such 
character as to often affect the plants to such an extent that the panicle 
becomes abortive and fails to make its appearance.

A rather rare species, but usually very noticeable and abundant when it 
occurs, rendering the upper surface of the broad green leaves a rich 
brown by the profuse discharge of the uredospores. The III is very 
rare.
