Uromyces (Uromycopsis) Limosell^, Luchvig ; Hedwigia 

 XXVIIL, p. 182. ^cidia scattered or united. The masses of 

 pseudospores are whitish with an irregular margin, not deeply 

 sunk. Spores roundish, polyhedral, colourless, smooth, of about 

 \b u diameter. The sori of the teleutospores occur among the 

 peridia although mostly and for long covered by the epidermis, 

 polyhedral, of a dark-brown colour. Teleutospores obovate, ob- 

 long, or club-shaped, rarely subglobular, with a yellowish-brown, 

 thick, smooth membrane, thicker and paler at tne summit. Spores 

 32 to 40 w long, 18 to 22 u wide; pedicel as long as or shorter 

 than the spore. Upon the leaves of Limosella aquatica, Karatta, 

 Kangaroo Island. 



Uromyces (Pileolaria) Tepperianus, Saccardo ; Hedwigia 

 XXYIII., p. 126, tab. 2, fig. 1. Teleutospores sphseroidal, de- 

 pressed, cinnamon-coloured, 20 to 24 by 18 to 20 u, longitudinally 

 very thinly and closely canaliculate-striate, crenulate on the 

 margin when viewed in front, nucleate ; with long bacillar stipes 

 densely fasciculate, 40 to 60 by 3 to 5 u, hyaline, fixed to the 

 base of the teleutospore by a circular hilum. Can be compared 

 with no other species. 



PuccixiA (PucciNOPSis) Saccardoj, Ludwig ; Hedwigia 

 XX VIII., p. 362. Acidise scattered or united in groups, produc- 

 ing on the leaf circular patches, raised around the margin, which 

 dry up in the interior, of a brownish or yellowish tint, from 2 to 

 4 mm. in diameter. The pseudo-peridia are dish-like, white, with 

 deeply-impressed margin, about 215 to 325 h in diameter; 

 peridial cells finely verrucose, 18 to 25 ?* long and 15 to 18 ^*
