Puccmia Compositae. 161 



Uredospores globose, subglobose or ellipsoid, varied, yellow to 

 pale brown, 20-30 x 19-26 p. 



III. Teleutosori hypophyllous, seated on the same spots, minute, brown. 



Teleutospores oblong or subclavate to lanceolate, apex thickened, 



attenuated or rarely truncate, constricted at septum, smooth, 



dark-brown, 40-57 x 15-22 p, rarely up to 27 p broad; pedicel 



hyaline, short, deciduous. 



On living leaves of Helichrysum sp. 

 Victoria. 



There is no specimen of this species from Australia in the Kew Her- 

 barium, and I have not found it on any species of Helichrysum, though this 

 genus is exceedingly common near Melbourne.

I. Aecidia amphigenous, spots none ; pseudoperidia scattered or in 

 groups, semi-immersed, margin lacerated, white, 200-240 p diam.; 

 peridial cells finely warted, lozenge shaped or elongated, 24-31 p 

 long. 



Aecidiospores subglobose or elliptical, orange-yellow, very 

 finely echinulate, 12-14 p diam. or 17-19 x 14 p, 



[II. Uredosori scattered, small, pulverulent, brown or mixed with 

 teleutosori. 



Uredospores globose, brown, epispore rough, 20 p diam.] 



III. Teleutosori amphigenous, scattered, or surrounding aecidia, 

 rather compact, dark-brown to black, raising and rupturing 

 epidermis. 



Teleutospores clavate, constricted at septum, dark-brown only 

 in upper cell, epispore thickened, smooth, 45-66 X 16-22 p, 

 average 49 x 17 p ; upper cell subglobose or oblong or somewhat 

 conical, rounded, flattened, or bluntly pointed at apex, which is 

 considerably thickened, generally equal in length to lower cell ; 

 lower cell pale in colour, attenuated into pedicel and narrower 

 than upper cell ; pedicel persistent, generally slightly tinted, 

 attaining a size of 42 x 7 p.. 



X. Mesospores relatively numerous, pale coloured, elongated elliptical, 

 thickened at apex, with persistent hyaline pedicel, 38-42 x 

 16-17 p.
