60 TWENTY-THIRD REPORT ON THE STATE CABINET. 
On leaves of the mandrake, Podophyllwm peltatum. Beth- 
lehem. June. 
The spots occur most often at or near the base of the leaf 
lobes, where they are frequently confluent. 
ZACIDIUM PUSTULATUM Curtis in lit., n. sp. 
Spots small, yellowish, sometimes stained with red, thick- 
ened, often concave above, convex below ; peridia short, sub- 
crowded, often forming a circle about a free central space ; 
spores pale orange, subglobose, 73455’—75yy’ in diameter. 
On leaves of toad flax, Comandra umbellata. Center. June. 
AKCIDIUM CHNOTHERE 2. Sp. 
Spots orbicular, scarcely thickened, reddish purple, some- 
times stained with yellow; peridia short, crowded, generally 
with a small free central space; spores pale orange, subglo- 
bose, small, z,;,' in diameter. 
On leaves of the evening primrose, Gynothera biennis. 
Knowersville. June. . 
Not unfrequently a reddish purple dash extends from the 
spot to the margin of the leaf. The cups sometimes occur 
sparingly on the upper surface of the leaf. The free central 
space appears umbilicus-like, and, when present, is a notice- 
able feature. 
JKorp1um Myricatum Schw. 
Spots dark red, much thickened, scattered, very variable in 
size and shape, often angular; peridia short, subimmersed, 
scattered or subcrowded; spores very bright orange, subglo- 
bose, large, =j/57 — sty’ in diameter ; spermogonia on the upper 
surface. 
“ “ leaves of the wax-myrtle, Wyrica cerifera. Riverhead. 
uly. 2 
The white cups, filled with brilliant orange colored spores, 
and sitting upon their dark red or chestnut colored bed, present 
a beautiful appearance. A few cups sometimes occur on the 
upper surface. , Small spots with but two or three cups have the 
subiculum distinctly thickened. The speciesis related to Aei- 
dium Berberidis, but is distinguished by its shorter cups and 
larger spores. Ihave not found it growing on the petioles of the 
pees. After a considerable time the spores fade to a pale 
yellow. 
AXcrpIuM LIMONII 7. sp. 
This is a species closely related to the preceding one, oceur- 
ring in thickened spots on the leaves dnd their midribs) of 
Statice Limonium, at Greenport. The cups occur upon both 
surfaces of the leaf, but more sparingly on the upper surface.
