On Poaceae: II and III. 
Festuca confinis Vasey (Poa Kingit S. Wats.)—Steins Mts., Harney 
Co:, July 2; 1896, J. B: Weiberg, 2025. 
Festuca idahoensis Elmer—Hilgard, Union Co., July 10, 1914, 
1358, 1362; Redmond, Crook Co., July 2, 1914, 1424, 1430 
Festuca rubra L.—Hilgard, Union Co., July 10, 1914, oe Mary’ s 
Peak, Benton Co., Aug. 15, 1914, 1571, 1573; Newport, Lincoln Co., 
July 18.1915, 3207. 
Festuca subulata Trin.—Ashland, Jackson Co., Sept. 10, 1914, 1563. 
The connection between this common western form on Festuca 
with Aecidium abundans was shown by Arthur in 1910 (Mycologia 4: 
27. 1912). In three trials, using telial material on F. confinis, col- 
lected in Colorado and Utah, infection resulting in pycnia and aecia 
on Symphoricarpos racemosus was obtained. 
60. PucciInta ACETOSAE (Schum.) Koern. Hedwigia 15: 184. 1876. 
Uredo Acetosae Schum. Enum. PI. Saell. 2: 231. 1803. 
ON POLYGONACEAE: 
Rumex acetosella L.—Maples Station, Tillamook Co., Sept. 15, 
1915, F. D. Bailey, 3102; Corvallis, Oct. 19, 1915, G. B. Posey, 3000. 
This species has been recorded previously from North America 
only from Florida on R. hastatulus (Holway, North Am. Ured. 1: 35. 
1906). Specimens on that host referred to this species are in the 
Arthur herbarium also from S. Carolina and Massachusetts and on 
R. acetosella from Massachusetts, Florida, New York and Indiana. 
All the specimens bear uredinia only. It is possible that some or all 
of the material should be referred to Uromyces Acetosae Schroet., as 
the two species are indistinguishable in the uredinial stage. 
61. PUCCINIA AMBIGUA (Alb. & Schw.) Lagerh., in Bubak, Sitz. Ver. 
Bohm. Ges. Wiss. 1898, 28: 14. 1808. 
Aecidium Galit ambiguum Alb. & Schw. Consp. Fung. 116. 1805. 
Puccinia difformis Kunze, Myc. Hefte 1: 71. 1817. 
Allodus ambigua Arth. Résult Sci. Congr. Bot. Vienne 345. 1906. 
On RUBIACEAE: 
Galium aparine L.—Wren, Benton Co., June 26, 1914, 1330; 
Ashland, Jackson Co., Sept. 10, 1914, 3090. 
This species possesses aecia and telia only in the life cycle. It 
has been studied by Bubak (1. c.) who found that primary aecia were 
followed by secondary aecia. Later Trebaux (Flora 81: 394-404. 
1895) repeated this observation and conducted culture work con-
