NEW WEST AMERICAN FUNGI. 205 
in diameter; border, whitish, spreading, irregularly torn; 
spores subglobose, smooth orange in color and 18 w in 
diameter, Spermogonia abundant. 
II and III. Hypophyllous. Uredospore sori scattered, 
round, 4 tol mm. diam., bordered by the ruptured epidermis, 
cinnamon color. Uredospores, subglobose, 16 to 22 % in the 
longer diameter, faintly echinulate. Teleutospore sori same 
as those of the uredospores, only darker. Teleutospores 
ovate or oblong-elliptical, smooth, slightly constricted, 
rounded at both ends, 24 to 32 x 16 to 22 w, epispore 
moderately thickened at the apex and mostly with a distinct 
papilla. 
Uredo Californica, E. & E. 
On leaves of Vicia gigantea, Mill Valley, Calif., May 25, 
1893, W. C. Blasdale, No. 126. 
Sori mostly hypophyllous, small (4 mm. or less), soon 
naked and often subconfluent, olivaceous, not many spots, 
but the leaf is a little paler (pale yellow above) in the parts 
occupied by the fungus. Uredospores globose or elliptical, 
nearly hyaline, faintly aculeolate, 15 to 20 x 10 to 14 w. 
In the effused state this resembles some hyphomycetous 
fungus. Differs from the Uredo of Uromyces Fabe (Pers.), 
in its smaller, olivaceous sori and nearly hyaline spores. 
Keidium Gaure, E. & E. 
On leaves of Gaura parviflora, Fort Collins, Colo., June, 
1893, OC. F. Baker, No. 127 
Spots amphigenous, su borbionlat: 3 to 8 mm. diam., reddish- 
purple above, becoming yellow with a reddish-purple border, 
border paler below. Spermogonia honey-color or yellow, 
prominent, occupying the spots on the upper surface; 
Aicidia hypophyllous, innate-erumpent, crowded, small (} to 
4 mm.), soon open with the spreading margin coarsely 
lacerate-toothed; scidiospores globose, smooth, 14 to 17 y 
diam., orange-yellow. 
This is entirely different from AZcid. gaurinum, Pk., which 
has scattered wcidia.
