cultivated celery leaves. The entire leaf is generally 

 closely sprinkled with the patches of coffee-coloured 

 spores. 



313. ANEMONE BRAND (Puccinia Anemones). Very 

 common, in the spring, on leaves of the wood anemone, 

 or wind-flower. The surface of the spores is rough, with 

 little points or projections. (PI. IV., fig. 3.) A similar 

 but rougher-spored species is found, but rarely, on the 

 Alexanders (Smyrniuni). Other brands, with two-celled 

 spores, occur on willow-herb, thistles, ground-ivy, violets, 

 bedstraw, primroses, knotgrass, asparagus, c., but all are 

 similar in character. 



314. MEADOW-SWEET BRAND ( Triphragmium Ultnarue.} 

 . This brand has a similar habit to the foregoing, but the 

 spores are divided into three cells. The Meadow-sweet 

 is common beside streams and ditches everywhere, and 

 the brand is nearly as common in autumn on the under 

 surface of the leaves. (PL V., fig. 4.) 



315. BRAMBLE BRAND (Phragmidium bulbosuni). 

 Common on bramble-leaves in the autumn. The black 

 patches are good objects, in sit it, viewed opaque with 

 one-inch objective. The spores are borne on a transpa- 

 rent pedicel in tufts. Each spore has three or four 

 divisions, and the surface is rough with projections. (PL 

 V., fig. 5-) 



316. STRAWBERRY BRAND (Phragmidium obtusuni). 

 Common on the leaves of the wild strawberry, is similar, 

 as also the raspberry brand (gracile} on raspberry leaves, 

 and the rose brand (inner onatuni) on leaves of wild or 

 cultivated roses. The principal differences are the number 

 of divisions in the spores. 



317. GREAT BURNET BRAND (Xenodochus carbonariits). 

 The finest of all the brands, and occurs on the leaves of 

 the great burnet, but not very commonly. The spores 

 have a number of articulations, often as many as fifteen, 

 of a chocolate-brown colour, in tufts, which form black 

 patches, visible to the naked eye. (PI. V., fig. 6.) 



318. NETTLE CLUSTER CUPS (sEridium Urtica). 

 Clusters of bright golden cups, found in spring and early
