This Aecidinm is very similar to the one on Pentstcmou. whicli be 

 longs with Puccinia Andropogonis Schw. and probably also belongs with 

 this Puccinia. This supposition is strongly reinforced liy a Held observa- 

 tion made by Rev. J. M. Bates in 1910. After ol)serving aecia in June on 

 a plant of Afzclia macrnphyUa, he later foiuid Puccinia Andrnpnynnis de- 

 veloped close by. Since Pentstemon, Dasystoma, and Afzclia all belong 

 to the same family, it is very likely that the similar aecia on thcin have 

 the same tollal connection, viz: Puccinia Andmixtyanis Sdiw.

From field observations in Nebraska, Rev. J. M. Bates suggests that 

 this Aecidinm belongs with Puccinia. EUisiana Thuem. on Andropnyon.

This Aecidinm, while slnill:ir to. is probably ditlerent from Aevidin)n
