Arthur: Cultures of Uredineae in 1910 L3 



20. Uromycks Sporoboli E. & E., on Sporobolus neglectus 

 Nash, collected by Dr. E. W. Olive, at Brookings, S. D., was 

 sown on Lepargyraea canadensis, Elaeagnus angustifolia, Amor- 

 pha nana, Erigeron annuus (on two different dates), and Arnica 

 sp., with no infection. 13 



21. Aecidium on Euphorbia commutata Engelm. was obtained 

 in the vicinity of Lafayette, Ind., by Messrs. F. D. Kern and T. 

 Billings. The living plants were placed in pots and continued to 

 flourish. They bore aecia in all stages of maturity. These plants 

 were adjusted in a moist chamber over the following hosts, so 

 that aeciospores fell spontaneously upon the young leaves : Astra- 

 gains canadensis, Pisuin sativum, Lathyrus palustris, Medicago 

 satii'a. and Trifolium pratense. No infection was obtained. 



Successful cultures supplementing previous work. The 

 facts derived by growing the following species of rusts supple- 

 ment those obtained from previous cultures in this series or from 

 cultures recorded by^o^er American of Eujopean investigators

1. Puccinia GiUJGDULMiniAD (^ohunii ) Ljagcrh. , on Car ex tenuis
