Apparently a common autoecious species throughout the West 
Indian islands, but on M. suaveolens only uredinia have been found. 
In the North American Flora (7: 212-213. 1912) this species is 
confused with Eriosporangium tucumanense (Speg.) Arth., a South 
American species not yet found in North America. The descrip- 
tion following that name applies to P. medellinensis, but should 
give the pores of the urediniospores as 2 or sometimes 3.

On LAMIACEAE (LABIATAE): 
Mesosphaerum capitatum (L.) Kuntze (Hyptis capitata 
Jacq.), Baracoa (Prov. Oriente), March 9, 1903, II, 
Holway; Paso Estancia (Prov. Oriente), May 3, 1916, II,

This autoecious species has not yet been taken in the West 
Indies in any but the uredinial stage, although known from the 
southern United States on M. rugosum (Hyptis radiata) bearing 
руста, aecia, and telia, as well as uredinia. The other West 
Indian stations are in Jamaica and Porto Rico. The record of 
Hyptis suaveolens, as a host under this species in the North Ameri- 
can Flora (7: 212), is ап error. It belongs under P. medellinensis, 
as given above.

On LaMIACEAE (LABIATAE): 
Mesosphaerum lantanifolium (Poir.) Kuntze (Hyptis lan- 
tanifolia Poir.), Santa Ana, Isle of Pines, March 20, 
.. 1916, II, Britton & Wilson 15668. 
This long-cycle species is founded on a collection from Brazil, 
and has also been found in Porto Rico. Only uredinia and telia 
are known.
