Uredo Liliaceae. 203 



On Scirpus nodosus Rottb. 



Victoria Mordialloc, Dec., 1885 (Reader) (Winter 2). 



This specimen is given as Puccinia rimosa (Link) Wint., by Winter, but 

 on carefully examining some of the original material, there are coarsely 

 echinulate uredospores and nothing else. It is evidently not that species 

 described by Winter in Hedwigia, p. 28 (1880), and since it does not agree 

 with the uredo stage of Puccinia scirpi DC. of which I have examined 

 specimens from Sydow's Ured. Exs. 685 on Scirpus lacustris L., I have 

 named it as above.

It is curious to note that Cooke and Massee have also described a 

 Puccinia with uredo and teleutospores on this plant, the uredospores being 

 25-28 x 15-18 p. 



Specimen not seen. 



Geitonoplesium.

II. Sori on under surface of leaves on vinous patches, in small groups 

 minute, elliptical, ultimately rupturing epidermis.
