frequently obovate, 30-45 x 18-25 mmm. ; apex bluntly acuminate, or as 
frequently rounded, sometimes truncate, thickened up to 12 mmm., darker 
in colour, base attenuate ; epispore smooth, 2-2-5 mmm. thick, dark

form conspicuous black masses on the petioles and stems. The rust is 
prevalent in New Zealand wherever the host is grown. Itis distinguished

ПІ. Teleutosori amphigenous, and on petioles and veins, on inflated 
and distorted areas, scattered when eelliptical and 1mm. long or more,

Hosts :— 
Trifolium repens L. On leaves, petioles, and veins. Herb. No. 490.

This species has been separated from U. Trifolii-repentis Liro because 
of the fact that only teleutosori oceur in the cycle, and because of the 
larger sori, which are 1 
‘ol onger covered, and are more common on nerves and 
petioles.
