114 TWENTY-FIFTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. 
Leaves of the blackberry, Rubus villosus. Greig. September. 
Not common. 
The pustules of the spores are hyaline’ and more distinct when 
the spores are moist or fresh. When the peduncle is absent a 
pustule appears to occupy its former place of attachment, so that 
usually a pustule is seen on each of the three prominent points of 
the spore. ‘The apex sometimes has two pustules. The spots are 
limited by the veinlets of the leaves. 
10. P. Pecxrana Howe. Raspberry Brand. 
Hypogenous; spots mostly indefinite or confluent, yellow, some- 
times none; sori very minute, scattered, brown; spores ovate, 
sometimes triangular, not constricted, often abruptly pointed at the 
base, .0013—.0016' long, .0008—.0009’ broad. 
Leaves of raspberries, Aéubus strigosus and fF. occidentalis: 
New Baltimore. Howe. Poughkeepsie. Gerard. North Green- 
bush. August to October. 
This species is closely related to the preceding one, although by 
its different habit it is readily distinguished from it without micro- 
scopical examination. ‘The spores often have a hyaline pustule at 
the apex and when fully mature are seldom found with the pedun- 
cle attached. 
11. P. Norrranerris Cd. Balsam Brand. 
Hypogenous; spots brown or none, sometimes concave above, 
convex below; sori scattered or gregarious, unequal, prominent, 
reddish-brown; spores scarcely constricted, with a hyaline pustule 
at the apex, .001—.0013' long, .0006’ broad. 
Leaves of touch-me-not, /mpatiens fulva. Cherry Valley. Octo- 
ber. 
This species seems to be rare with us, having been found, so far 
as I know, only in the locality here given. Our specimens do not 
agree strictly with the description, the sori being seldom found on 
brown spots. I have not seen the Uredo form, but it is said to be 
Uredo Impatientis Rabh. A variety with spores a little larger 
was found by Dr. Howe at New Baltimore, growing on leaves of 
Polygonum dumetorum. 
12. P. Cryprormnia Peck. Honewort Brand. 
Hypogenous; spots small, pallid or yellowish, sometimes tinged 
with purple, dotted by the sori, occasionally confluent; sori minute, 
clustered, at first covered by the epidermis, then surrounded by its 
pale ruptured remains which continue in the form of a small pustule 
with a contracted subcircular opening at the apex, reddish-brown ; 
spores subelliptical, scarcely constricted, crowned with a hyaline 
pustule .0011—.0016' long, .0006' broad.
