F 



Puccinia recondita, D. & H. Spots bright yellow to 



wanting; sori hypophyllous, small, pulvinate, densely crowded 

 into roundish groups of 2—5 mm. diameter, cinnamon-col- 



~ S /I, rounded 



or mostly conical, attenuated or rounded below, central con- 

 Btriction distinct, membranes pale brownish, smooth, 40- ""

This fungus belongs to the section Lepiopuccinia, because 



the spores germinate immediately after ripening. 



Puccinia pnnctiformis, D. & H. Sori amphigenous, 



principally hypophyllous, scattered, punctiform, about 0.2 

 0.4 mm. in diameter. Uredosori ochraceous, uredospores 

 obovate with a thin echinulate epispore, brownish, with four 

 equatorial germ-pores, 28—40x20—27 ;i. Teleutosori dark 

 brown, teleutospores mostly clavate, base attenuated, summit 

 rounded or conical, thickened (5—8 ;x), slightly constricted, 

 smooth, brown, 34—45x21—29 m- Pedicels about half the 



length of the spores, stout. 



On Bumex salicifolius. Berkeley, Jan., 1894, leg. Bias- 

 dale. 



Puccinia palefaciens, D. & H. Diseased plants yellow. 

 Sori minute, brown, afterwards grayish, densely crowded and 

 covering the whole lower surface of the leaves, sparingly aris- 

 ing from the upper surface. Spores oblong, apex conical or 

 rounded, thickened, 5.5—10 /i, lower cell attenuated or 

 rounded at the base, central constriction distinct, epispore 

 pale brown, smooth; 43—66x21—26 ^. Unicellular spores not 

 rare. Pedicels persistent, as long as or longer than the 

 spores.
