This species, common in the West Indies, is a short-cycle lepto- 
form, without pycnia. It has been detected on phanerogamic 
specimens in the herbarium of the N. Y. Bot. Garden, on Eleuthe- 
ranthera ruderalis, near Gerona, Isle of Pines, May 8, 1904, A. Н. 
Curtiss 488; Guantanamo Bay, March 17-30, 1909, N. L. Britton 
2243; on Tridax procumbens, Santiago de Cuba, March, 1903, 
Underwood & Earle 125; and on Neurolaena lobata, from “ Cuba 
Orientale," 1856-7, Charles Wright 772. 
The type of Puccinia solida B. & C. was collected by Charles 
Wright in “Cuba Orientale," 1856-7, and the host was first de- 
termined in January, 1910, from the specimen in the Curtis her- 
barium at Harvard University, by B. L. Robinson of the Gray 
herbarium, who found it to be E. ruderalis. 
Other West Indian islands now represented are Jamaica, 
Porto Rico, St. Domingo, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Grenada, 
Antigua, Barbados, and Tortola, being the most extensive West 
Indian record for any species of rust up to the present time.
