I have received from Prof. Saccardo some of the original material on 



G. geniculata from S. Australia, and on comparing it with P. nigricaulis 

 McAlp,, have no doubt but that they are the same. The Victorian 

 specimens, however, occur very plentifully on the stems as well as on the 

 leaves, and under favorable conditions the fungus obtains such profuse 

 development as to cause blackening and distortion of the stems. 



Aecidium goodeniacearum Berk, belongs partly to P. saccardoi and to 

 Uromyces puccinioides. In specimens of Goodenia pinna tifida, received from 

 F. M. Reader, Dimboola, the fungus is' named A. goodeniacearum Berk, in 

 Massee's handwriting, while the teleutospores of P. saccardoi are also met 

 with intermixed with the aecidia. 



In Velleia paradoxa, from New South Wales, while the teleutospores 

 are of the general type, there are quite a number in which the apex is 

 truncate and prolonged laterally into a thickened, more or less beak-like 

 projection. But Ludwig observed in the original type on Goodenia 

 geniculata a similar variety, so that the spores on the genera Goodenia and 

 Velleia cannot be differentiated. He writes " Mixed among the nori 

 teleutospores there are three and one-celled spores, the latter sometimes 

 abnormal size, as I have observed under similar conditions in P. heterospora. 

 Frequently very peculiar forms appeared, in which the upper cell bore 1-3 

 horn-like projections as long as the cell itself, or finger-like cells, as long a& 

 the upper, proceeded from the lower cell."
