Same host. 



The three forms of this species all occur on No. 5165. 

 The aecidial form is the same as A. nionoiciim Peck, 

 and A. drabce T. & E., and as the specific name aberrans 

 has priority in publication, it must stand. An examina- 

 tion of the several forms on diffent hosts from nine local- 

 ities show the following characters : 



Puccmia aberj'ansVQck.. I. Hypophyllous; spots none; 

 pseudosporidia often covering the entire lower surface of 

 the leaf, long cylindrical, lacerate at the top, bright yellow ; 

 gecidial spores subglobose, smooth, yellow, epispore thick, 

 smooth, 20-28 m. II. In the same sori with the teleu- 

 tospores ; globose, epispore thin, smooth, 28-33 ™- -f-'^I- 

 Usually hypophyllous, but with occasional sori on the 

 upper surface; spots none; sori small, round, sometimes 

 confluent, reddish-brown; teleutospores light colored, 

 oblong, or oblong-clavate, obtuse or round-pointed, much 

 thickened at the apex, constricted, smooth, lower cell 

 very thin-walled, 40-50x20-25 m. Pedicel hyaline, about 

 as long as the spore, quite fragile. 



This occurs on Arabis, Draba and Smelowskia. 



PiLCcinia globosipes Peck. 



No. 5193. May 8, Le Verkin, Utah, 3000° alt. 



II. III. 



On Lycium Andersoni . 



In these specimens the sori occur on both the stems 

 and leaves, and both II and III are found in the same 

 sori. The uredo- spores do not appear to have been 

 collected previously, and are described as follows: II. 

 In the same sori with III. Spores oval or obovate, epi- 

 spore rather thick, sharply echinulate toward the apex 

 and smooth at the base, 15-20x30-38 m.
