 smooth. 



II. Uredinia amphigenous, small, rounded or irregularly 

 scattered, chestnut-brown. Unrediniospores globose, sub-globose 

 or ellipsoid, 19-24 by 19-30/*; wall light brown, strongly 

 echinulate. 



III. Telia amphigenous, rounded on leaves, oblong or 

 linear on stem, blackish, compact. Teliospores oblong or

A collection on July 22 showed the aecia past their prime 

 and uredinia beginning to appear; another on August 26 

 showed .telia developed on the leaves and stem. This rust was 

 only found in one place so that it does not appear to be common.
