circumstance of the spores being multiapiculate instead of uni- 

 apiculate surely cannot be of generic importance. At any rate 

 the name Solenodonta cannot stand, as it is preoccupied by a 

 genus of insectivorous mammals, Brandt in Mem. de FAc. d. S. 

 Pet. vol. ii. 1833, p. 459.

Forming thick bullate patches several inches long, occupying 

 whole internodes covered by their sheath ; spores globose, larger 

 than in U. hjpodytes and U. longissima. 



A very good account of this species will be found in Wallroth's 

 book quoted above. Our plant is exactly his species. It some- 

 times occupies distinct lines, as in U. longissima. Whether U. 

 grandis, Fr., be the same thing or not can only be ascertained by 

 the sight of authentic specimens. 



481. U. hypodytes, Fr. Syst. Myc. vol. iii. p. 518. This spe- 

 cies occurred m 1848 in the greatest profusion at King's Cliffe, 

 affecting almost every flowering-stem of Bromus erectus. A plant 

 of this grass being set in a garden produced none but diseased 

 flower-stems the following year.

Forming elongated parallel sori on the upper surface of the 

 leaves. Spores four times as long as in U. longissima, obovate, 

 rough with minute granules. 



A most distinct and interesting species, exhibiting in its spores 

 the type of an Uredo rather than of an Ustilago.
