No. 5.] USTILAGINE/E OF CONNECTICUT. 35 



Host and Distr. : Zizania aquatic a, New Haven, 1892 

 (Setchell) ; Whitneyville, July 24, 1902; Montowese, Oct. 18, 

 1902; Westville, Aug. 21, 1903. 



Entyloma crastophilum Sacc. This species is closely re- 

 lated to the preceding, but differs in its slightly smaller sori 

 and somewhat darker colored spores which are 8-14/i in length. 



Host and Distr. : Holcus lanatus, West Haven, July 2^, 

 1903; Undetermined grass, West Haven, Aug. 12, 1903. 



Both this and the preceding species differ from the ordinary 

 Entylomas in their darker colored spores. 



Entyloma Thalictri Schrot. The sori are found in the 

 leaves, forming small, angular, yellowish or reddish spots 

 about 1-2 mm. in diameter, or by confluence becoming more 

 extended and indefinite. The spores are hyaline or yellowish, 

 ovoid to subspherical or occasionally somewhat angled and 

 more irregular, thin-walled to medium thick-walled, smooth, 

 and 8-13/i in length. The conidia are apparently produced on 

 the under surface of the sori. 



Host and Distr. : Thalictrum polygamum, Montowese, 

 Sept. 14, 1903. 



This species is not very common, and has been reported on 

 the above host only from this state. 



Entyloma Lobeliae Farl. Figs. 17, 31. The sori form 

 conspicuous whitish or yellowish areas in the leaves, and are 

 1-10 mm. in diameter. The spores are hyaline or yellowish 

 tinted, oblong to subspherical or somewhat angled, rather 

 thick-walled, and 11-15/* in length. The conidia form a whit- 

 ish growth on the under surface of the sori, and are fusiform, 

 and 10-25^ by 2-3^ in size. 



Host and Distr.: Lobelia inflata, Hamden, Sept. 11, 1902; 

 Hartford, Oct. 20, 1902 ; Cheshire, Aug. 3, 1903 ; Yalesville, 

 Oct. 14, 1904. 



This is probably the most common Entyloma occurring in 

 the New England states, but so far it has been found only on 

 the above species of Lobelia. 



Entyloma Physalidis (K. & C.) Wint. Fig. 34. The 

 sori form at first yellowish, but later darker colored, roundish 

 or angular spots from 3/2-6 mm. in diameter. The spores vary 

 from slightly tinted to light or reddish yellow, are ovoid, spher-
