Lespedeza Jiirta (L.) Hornem., Clayton, July 24, 1907, I, (1705). 



Lespedeza virginica (L.) Britt., Newark, Sept. 10, 1907, III, 



(1730); Selbyville, Oct. 4, 1907, (1988). 



This species is very common and widely distributed east of the 



Rocky mountains on various species of Lespedeza and has been shown 



to be autoecious by Arthur (.Jour. Myc. 10:14. 1904). The aecial form 



known as A. leiicostictum having been produced by infecting Lespedeza 



capitata with teliospores from the same host.

 On Fabaceae: 



Medicago lupulhia L., Wilmington, June 22, 1889, A. Commons 

 (920). 

 The aecia of this species in Europe have been shown by Schroeter 

 (Krypt. Fl. Schl. 3':306. 1887) and by Trebaux (Ann. Myc. 10:74. 

 1912) to occur on various species of Euphorbia. 



No aecia in America have been found which can be referred to this 

 species. There is, however, no evidence at present available for believ- 

 ing the American species different from the European.

Dr. J. L. Sheldon (Torreya 9:55. 1909) was the first to show that 



in West Virginia the aecial stage of this species on Andropogon occurred 



en Viola, having obtained successful infection resulting in aecia by using
