Ustilaginales of Indiana. IT. 161 
This species usually affects the whole inflorescence. It has a wide distri- 
bution but has not often been reported. It is recorded on this host other- 
wise only from New Hampshire. It is especially common on the Pacific 
coast. 
TILLETIACEAE. 
52. DOASSANSIA RANUCULINA Davis, Bot. Gaz. 19 :416. 1894. 
On RANUNCULACEAE: 
Ranunculus delphinifolius Torr., one-half mile southeast of Shelby, Lake 
Co., Oct. 14, 1920. 
This is a rare form known otherwise only from Wisconsin. The spores 
are largely germinated.

On ALISMACEAE: 
Sagittaria latifolia Willd., City water works lake, Bloomington, Monroe

Sagittaria heterophylla Pursh (?), pond four miles east of Bloomington, 
Monroe Co., July 25, 1919. J. M. Van Hook, 3796. 
This species was recorded by Prof. VanHook in the Proceedings for 1910, 
p. 206. It was overlooked in the previous list. I am indebted to Prof. Van 
Hook for the opportunity to examine specimens.

This collection was made in a dried up slough on the terrestial form of the 
host. It consists for the most part of the conidial form which occurs 
equally as abundant on the upper surface of the leaf as on the lower, a con- 
dition not found on other host species. This is doubtless correlated with the 
fact that the stomata are abundant on the upper surface of the leaves in the 
terrestial form. The smut has not been reported on this host before.
