near the pedicel, provided with a flattened, hyaline, somewhat inconspicuous papilla- 

 and pedicels are hyaline, short (sometimes 14.5 /A), and deciduous. 



On record, We have three species of Puccinia on Anemone narcissiflora viz. 

 P. vesiculosa Schlecht., P. retecta Syd., and P. Schelliana Thurn. These 

 species are so nearly related that SYDOW even remarked them to be hardly distin- 

 guishable from each other. Our specimen coincides very well with P. vesiculosa in 

 the presence of papilla, in the size of the spores, and in the region of distribution, 

 although in the character of epispore it resembles rather P. Schelliana. 



Puccinia Anemonae-Raddeanae n. sp. 



Teleutosori mostly hypophylkms or on the petiole, small or medium iri size, 

 roundish or sublinear, scattered or gregarious, often confluent in a large mass (1 cm 

 in length), soon naked, powdery, conspicuous, blackish-brown. Teleutospores 

 ellipsoidal or oblong-clavate, rounded at both ends, apex not or slightly thickened, 

 slightly constricted at the septum, densely verruculose, sometimes smooth at the 

 lower part, brown, 30 44 x 16 22yu- (rarely 50 p in length); germ-pore of the 

 tipper cell at the apex, that of the lower at the lower half, provided with a hyaline, 

 flattened or conical pnpilla ; pedicels hyaline, short (sometimes as long as the 

 spores), and subpersistent. Mespspores occasionally mixed in the sori.

REMARKS. So far, there has been no account of the presence of any Puccinia 

 parasitic on Anemone Eaddeana. In the vicinity of Sapporo this plant is commonly 

 attacked by a species of Puccinia, nearly related to P. singularls on Anemone 

 altaica. The soii of P. singularis are larger than those of this species. Moreover,
