114. AECIDIUM PASSIFLORIICOLA P. Henn. Hedwigia 43: 168. 
1904. 
ON PASSIFLORACEAE: 
Passiflora rubra L., Ceballos (Prov. Camagiiey), July 6, 
1916, Johnston 802. 
This rust appears to be quite local. It has been collected in 
Porto Rico and Jamaica, and also in Peru, S. A. It is undoubtedly 
heteroecious. According to observations made by Whetzel and 
Olive in Porto Rico during March and April, 1916 (Mycologia 9: 
75. 1917), it probably is the aecial form of Puccinia Scleriae 
(Paz.) Arth., a rust which has not so far been found in Cuba. 
115. AECIDIUM ToURNEFORTIAE P. Henn. Hedwigia 34: 338.

On BORAGINACEAE: 
Tournefortia hirsutissima L., Baracoa (Prov. Oriente), 
April 14, 1916, Johnston 505; Paso Estancia (Prov.

Tournefortia peruviana Poir., Ceballos (Prov. Camagiiey), 
July 6, 1916, Johnston 863. 
The rust is probably the aecial stage of some heteroecious 
species. It has been observed on a phanerogamic specimen in the 
herbarium of the N. Y. Bot. Garden, collected at Vento (Prov. 
Habana), July 1, 1904, P. Wilson 576. It occurs also in Porto 
Rico and in South America.

ON SOLANACEAE: 
Solanum torvum Sw., Aguacate (Prov. Habana), March 23, 
1903, Holway; Jamal (Prov. Oriente), April 21, 1916, 
Johnston 513. 
A very abundant rust in some localities in the tropics, and 
doubtless heteroecious with the alternate form on a grass or sedge. 
It is known also from Jamaica, Porto Rico, as well as from Central 
and South America.
