DECADES OF BRITISH FUNGI. 107 
Myc. ed. i. n. 1995 ; Fung. Eur. n. 185.  Uredo longipes, Lasch. U. 
clavigera, Lasch. fide Rabh. Puccinia vaginalium, Link, Sp. Pl. (in 
part.)—On the stems of Polygonum aviculare. Near Liverpool, 
August, 1865 (R. G. M‘Leod) ; Swanscombe and Northfleet, Kent ; 
Hampstead and Highgate, October, 1865.—I do not see that this 
species offers any features whereby its separation from Uromyces can be 
maintained. Hence I have not adopted Dr. Rabenhorst’s genus Capi- 
tularia. The same may be said of Fuckel’s genus Puccinella, which I . 
believe that author himself has abandoned. 
94. UROMYCES GRAMINUM, 2. sp.; epiphyllis; soris oblongis vel 
confluentibus, convexis, nitidis, atris, demum longitudinaliter fissuratis ; 
sporidiis subglobosis vel ovatis, fuscis; pedicellis nune brevibus, nunc 
elongatis, hyalinis.—On leaves of Dactylis glomerata. Shere, October, 
1865 (Dr. E. Capron).—Epiphyllous, on both surfaces. Sori oblong, 
or confluent and linear, convex, black and shining, so as easily to be 
confounded on casual observation with Dothidia graminis, P., at length 
bursting longitudinally. Sporidia subglobose or ovate, tawny, with 
hyaline pedicels of variable length. This is undoubtedly the Uromyces- 
form of Puccinia graminis, although I have not hitherto been able to 
trace the connection. It seems strange that it should have hitherto 
been apparently unnoticed. 
25. UROMYCES SPARSA, Lév. Spots pallid. Sori subrotund and 
oval, amphigenous and cauline ; epidermis erumpent. Sporidia ovoid, 
brownish ; peduncles thickened, short.—Lév. Ann. des Sc. Nat. 1847, 
viii. p. 369; Fr. Summ. 514. Uredo sparsa, Kze. and Sehm. Exs. n. 
170; Rabh. D. Krypt. Fl. n. 39. — Coma sparsum, Link, Sp. Pl. ii. p. 
27.—On Spergularia rubra. Swanscombe Marshes. Very sparingly. 
26. Unzpo EvonyMt, Mart. Spots yellowish. Sori roundish, circi- 
nating, often confluent; epidermis erumpent. Sporidia ovoid and 
slightly coherent, tawny-yellow.—Mart. Fl. Mosq. p. 230; Rabh. 
D. Krypt. Fl. p. 7. U. circinalis, Strauss (in part). Coma Ribesit, 
Link, Sp. Pl. ii. p. 28 (in part).—On leaves of Euonymus Europeus. 
Darenth Wood, Kent, August, 1864. Very scarce.—Nearly allied to 
Uredo confluens, P. 
* UrEDO Pani, Kee. Exs. n. 187; Berk. and Broome, Ann. Nat. 
Hist. 1865, xv. p. 401. U. porphyrogenita, Link, Sp. ii. p. 31; 
Cooke, Micro. Fungi, p. 205. The priority of name is in favour of 
U. Padi, Kzes., adopted by Messrs. Berkeley and Broome. I refer to
