ARTHUR: NEW SPECIES OF UREDINEAE 109 
Puccinia (?) fuirenicola nom. nov. 
Uredo Fuirenae P. Henn. Hedwigia 38: Beibl. [70.] 1899. Not 
Puccinia Fuirenae Cooke, 1878. 
The type of this species was collected at St. Catherine near 
San Francisco, Brazil, in 1884, by E. Ule, No. 15. It ison Fuirena 
umbellata, the same species of host on which it occurs in Cuba, 
Porto Rico, and India. The author of the species so named it 
because he thought it probably a form of Puccinia Fuirenae Cooke, 
whose uredinia had not then been described. The urediniospores 
differ decidedly, however, from those of that species in size, thick- 
ness of wall, and number of pores. Teliospores are not known. 
Puccinia (?) Scribnerianum nom. nov. 
Uromyces Aristidae Ellis & Ev. Jour. Myc. 3: 56. 1887. Not 
U. Aristidae of later authors, or Puccinia Aristidae Tracy. 
Only the type collection of this species is- known. It shows 
prominent sori with large, thick-walled urediniospores and strongly 
developed paraphyses. The type specimen in the Ellis Herbarium 
at the New York Botanical Garden is labelled ‘‘ Uromyces Aristidae 
Ellis & Ev. on leaves of Aristida Arizonica Vasey, New Mexico.” 
Within the packet is a note indicating that the material was com- 
municated by Prof. Scribner: ‘‘The Uromyces Aristidae I found 
on the lvs. of an herbarium specimen of the Aristida from New 
Mexico. Isend you half of the material I found. F. L. Scribner.”’ 
A fragment of the same collection is in the Farlow Herbarium at 
Harvard University, communicated by J.-B. Ellis, which gives 
the locality as ‘‘Arizona”’ instead of New Mexico. Parts of these 
two specimens were transmitted to Professor-A. S. Hitchcock at 
Washington, D. C., with the request that he look over the grass 
herbarium to see if the host could be matched or verified. He 
replied under date of November 3, 1913: ““T have looked over the 
specimens of Aristida arizonica [in the National Herbarium], 
and I find one collected in New Mexico in 1884 upon which there 
is a rust apparently the same, so far as external appearances go, 
as the one on your specimens. This sheet [No. 745514] was 
formerly a part of the Scribner Herbarium, recently acquired by 
the National Herbarium. It is true that your specimen is said 
to have come from Arizona, and the published locality of the
