254 BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN MEMOIRS 
123. Pucctnia Licustici Ell. & Ev. Bull. Torrey Club 22: 263. 1895. 
Puccinia luteobasis Ell. & Ev. Bull. Torrey Club 24: 457. 1897. 
ON UMBELLIFERAE: 
Ligusticum aptifolium (Nutt.) Gray—Corvallis, 1911, 7166, April 
15, 1913, EF. D. Bailey, 3050, March 23, 1914, (G. B: Posey, gaame 
March 22, 1914, G. H. Godfrey, 2549; Orenco, Washington Co., 
Junei22)- 1013, 3070: 
124. PUCCINIA LUXURIOSA Sydow, Monog. Ured. 1: 812. 1904. 
Puccinia tosta luxurians Arth. Bull. Torrey Club 29: 229. 1902. 
ON POACEAE: 
Sporobolus airoides Torr.—Andrews, Harney Co., Aug. 1901, 
Griffiths & Morris (Griffiths, W. Am. Fungi 304). 
Bethel (Phytopath. 7: 93. 1917) has reported successful cultures 
of this rust on Sarcobatus vermiculatus, amply supported by field 
observations. Arthur (Mycol. 1: 234. 1909) has infected that host 
with teliospores of P. subnitens (cf. 167) from Nevada. Bethel, 
however, failed to obtain infection on any of the aecial hosts for that 
species with teliospores from Sporobolus airoides in Colorado. It is 
possible that the two forms represent biological races of the same 
species and should be united. 
125. Puccinta MAJANTHAE (Schum.) Arth. & Holw. Bull. Lab. Nat. 
Hist. Univ. Iowa 5: 188. Igot. 
Aecidium Majanthae Schum. Enum. PI. Saell. 2: 224. 1803. 
Puccinia sessilis Schneider, in Schréter Abh. Schles. Ges. 49: 19. 
1870. 
On POACEAE: 
Phalaris arundinacea L.—Beulah, Malheur Co., Aug. tIgo1, 
Griffiths & Morris (Griffiths, W. Am. Fungi 26a). 
No culture work has been reported in America. In Europe the 
aecia have been found on Allium, Arum, Convallaria and various other 
related hosts. Various names have been given to the different bio- 
logical forms (Klebahn, Die Wirtsw. Rostp. 263-272. 1904; Sydow, 
Monog. Ured. 1: 776-784. 1904). Aecia on Smilacina, Polygonatum, 
Maianthemum and Uvularia from the central and eastern United 
States doubtless belong here in whole or in part. 
126. PuccINIA MALVACEARUM Bert. Gay’s Hist. de Chile 8:43. 1852.

Abutilon ? sp. (cultivated shrub)—Corvallis, May, 1914, W. E. 
Lawrence, 3364, Nov. 17, 1914, W. E. Lawrence, 3363, Jan. 12, 1915, 
2627. 
Althaea ficifolia Cav.—The Dalles, Wasco Co., Aug. 25, 1915, E.
