140 SEMI-CENTENNIAL OF TORREY BOTANICAL CLUB 
The uredinia were also found on E. capitata (L.) R. Br. (Scirpus 
capitatus L.), collected by Charles Wright in Cuba, locality and 
date not given, the specimen being in the phanerogamic herbarium 
of Purdue University at Lafayette, Ind., having been received 
from G. W. Clinton. 
The species is heteroecious, it having been shown by culture 
that the aecia occur on Eupatorium. In the tropics the uredinial 
stage is the one usually collected, and it may be that the rust is 
there propagated solely by the repeating spores. 
Porto Rico is the only other West Indian island from which it 
is reported.

ON CYPERACEAE: 
Scleria verticillata Muhl. 
This heteroecious species, whose aecia are unknown, occurs on a 
number of species of hosts from Florida and Georgia. The record

of the N. Y. Bot. Garden, from Nuevo Gerona, Isle of Pines, 
December, 1903, A. H. Curtiss. 
68. PUCCINIA FUIRENAE Cooke, Grevillea 6: 137. 1878. 
ON CYPERACEAE: 
Fuirena simplex Vahl. 
This heteroecious species, whose aecia are unknown, was de- 
tected in its uredinial stage on a phanerogamic collection in the 
National HerBarium and communicated by Mrs. Agnes Chase. 
It was collected near Nueva Gerona, Isle of Pines, Dec. 17, 1903, 
by A. Н. Curtiss 237. The species has been known from South 
Carolina, Florida, Alabama, and Texas, and is now first reported 
for the West Indies.

two collections. The uredinia were detected in 1902 on Scirpus
