During several seasons that the writer has been interested 

 in rusts, search had been carefully made for this species, but 

 until 1921 unsuccessfully. During the season of 1921, however, 

 this rust was universally present on almost every clump of 

 milkweed throughout central New York. In many cases the 

 infection was so complete that the rust could be detected from a 

 considerable distance.
