Lonchocarpus latifolius H. B. K., Ceballos (Prov. Cama-

Heretofore the species has been known only from Brazil, and 
on Lonchocarpus campestris. The ample material supplied by 
Mr. Johnston shows an abundance of uredinia, agreeing closely 
with the uredinial part of the original description, no Brazilian 
specimen having been seen. No pycnia or telia could be detected.
