This species is perennial. It occurson the same individual plant from year 
to year until the plant is finally vanquished in the unequal strife. . 
Usually every leaf of the plant is attacked to such an extent that such 
plants never bloom or mature fruit. It is by far the most abundant 
Acidium in the west half of the state.

Rare and not destructive.

Common, and on the first-named host quite destructive some seasone. 
This species has been somewhat unfortunate in having been made a 
synonym of Aicidium verbenz, Speg., and issued as that species by 
Professor Carleton, as noted above, and also by Ellis and Everhart 
in Fungi Columbiani, No. 270. Our species and the South American 
one on Verbena are said, by those who have examined both, to be very 
distinct; so, at the suggestion of Prof. J. C. Arthur, I have restored our 
species to its original specific position. Type locality, Manhattan.

This and the preceding number, for convenience, have been retained in

Gymnosporangium, where they rightfully belong.
