[Metastelma penicillatum Griseb.?] without locality (Prov. 
Oriente), 1857, Charles Wright. 
The species is autoecious, and similar in habit and gross appear- 
ance to Puccinia Gonolobi Rav., but as here used is intended to 
include those forms having mostly globoid teliospores, with moder- 
ately thick walls, and oblique septa in most instances. The type 
of the species was collected in Cuba by Charles Wright on some 
undetermined host, locality not given. Upon request the ma- 
terial at the Kew herbarium was examined, and the opinion given 
that the host appears to be a species of Metastelma, probably M. 
penicillatum Griseb. There are, however, at least two collections 
at Kew. The type cited in the Fungi Cubenses (page 356) is no. 
281. This may be the one which is thought to be on Metastelma 
penicillatum, and is listed above. Another collection bears the 
number 288, but is without year or locality other than "E gba. 
A leaf from this collection, kindly sent to the senior author from 
Kew, well answers to the statement with the original description 
as a leaf “оѓ some plant resembling chickweed.”
