Puccinia Rutaccae, Tremandraceae. 



Teleutospores yellowish-grey, long-stalked, elongated fusoid, con- 

 stricted at septum, 44-60 x 17-20 p, average 50 x 18 p; upper 

 cell elongated, tapering and rounded at apex ; lower cell tapering 

 towards base ; pedicel light grey, several times as long as 

 teleutospore. 



X. Mesospores similarly coloured and stalked, ovoid, with truncated 

 apex, 25-28 x 16-19 p. 



On leaves of Correct, lawrenciana Hook. 



Tasmania Mount Wellington, Dec. Coast near Trial Harbour, 

 Jan., 1894 (Rodway 1 ). 



The sori stand out very distinctly from the cinnamon-brown under 

 surface of the leaves, causing corresponding circular depressions on upper 

 surface, of a yellowish-green colour. Although the plant is very common, 

 the rust was very rare.

Eriostemon. 



117. Puccinia eriostemonis Me Alp. 



III. Teleutosori hyphophyllous, dark-orange, ellipsoid, somewhat cir- 

 cularly arranged, erumpent, surrounded by ruptured epidermis, 

 up to 2 mm. long. 



Teleutospores clavate to ellipsoid, with finely granular orange 

 contents, compact, smooth, generally rounded at apex, sometimes 

 pointed, slightly thickened, usually tapering towards base, con- 

 stricted at septum, 30-15 x 15-18 p, average 32 x 16 /*; 

 pedicel persistent, hyaline, elongated, up to 125 p long by 3-5^ p 

 broad. 



X. Mesospores occasional, similarly coloured to teleutospores, ellipsoid, 

 thickened and bluntly pointed at apex, 30-32 x 13-16 p. 



On leaves of Eriostemon myoporoides DC. 



Victoria Mt. Bernard, Nov., 1903 (C. French, jr.). Alps, near 



Bright, Dec., 1904 (C. French, jr.) 

 Occasionally a spore occurs in which the septum is longitudinal. 



This species differs from P. correae McAlp., in the sori being orange 

 instead of brown, the spores are smaller, with finely granular orange con- 

 tents, and the.epispore rather thicker.
