Ft seems the orermination of the spores has not been observed 

 neither have other spore forms l^een certainly found as genetic 

 productions. Tn Jl. ^tlcfica, B. & Br., however, Berkeley says: 

 ■'The hirger pseudospores are accomi)anied by uredinoid ])odies 

 wliicli are minutely papillate." (Linn. Soc. Jour. Bot.. Vol. 

 XTV. p. 93.) 



The spores attain the largest size among the Uredinecr. and 

 are otherwise very readily generically recognized. 



Speaking of R. indica, Berkeley says, "The glandular bodies con- 

 sist of a large umbrella-shapecl, dark cap, often o|^th of an inch across, 

 composed of a number of closely packed cells, supported by a long, hy- 

 aline, delicate, and apparently compound stem, round the end of which 

 are suspended a circle of elongated hyaline bodies, calling to. mind, in 

 point of arrangement, the appendages of some species of Medust«, or in 

 general appearance the fruit of some Marchantia. In the South Caro- 

 lina species [R. glanduhm, B. & C] on the contrary, the peduncle is 

 shorter and the appendages are united by their sides into a solid mass." 



The species grow on various Leguiiiinofur. 



R. glandulseformis, B, & C. 



Aniphigenons. iSori scattered, rather small, often confluent 

 ill areas of variable, sometimes of considerable size, testaceous: 

 spores broadly capitate, the many-celled, dish-like, chestnut- 

 brown upper layer projecting over the hyaline cells lieneath. 

 alwut 75 to 100 ,w; pedicel short, hyaline. 



Spores urn-shaped, with a short pedicel, hyaline below and lobed or 

 striate ; even above, cellular, colored, projecting beyond the lower divi- 

 sion. In some specimens the lower division is even, and the cells of the 

 upper part larger, but it is probably a mere form. — Berkeley, Grevillea, 

 III., p. 80.

Gymnosporangium, DC. 



Spores with one horizontal septum, less commonly one to 

 six cells in a vertical row. yellow, with epispore thin, on long, 

 slender, hyaline pedicels, imbedded in gelatine, which, when 

 moist, swells into a soft columnar or irregular body. Parasitic 

 on the leaves and branches of various Ciipressinece.
