Probably found in all parts of the state and on many more hosts than those 
here given. In this form the wcidia clusters are usually very large and 
few — oftentimes only one —on a leaf. Vide succeeding number.

This form is generally rare, yet sometimes quite abundant, though doing 
but little damage to the host. While the spores are very similar to 
those of the preceding number, yet the wcidia clusters are so different 
in structure and occurrence—very small and very many on each leaf — 
that the varietal form in my judgment should be raised to the distine- 
tion of a species, as there appear to be no intermediate forms.
