0. Spermogones amphigenous, numerous, scattered, poner crx pas 
I. Aecidia amphigenous, numerous, scattered. Регійіа cupulate, margins 
erect, white, lacerate or entire. Spores polygonal, 16-22 mmm. diam. ; 
epispore hyaline, 1-15 mmm. thick, moderately verruculose 
II. Uredosori hypophyllous, cinnamon-brown, scattered, elliptical, up 
to 15mm. long, pulverulent, surrounded by the rupt epidermis. 
Spores elliptical or commonly obovate, 22-30 x 18-23 mmm. ; epispore 
coarsely and sparsely echinulate, 1-5mmm. thick, golden-brown, with 2 
equatorial germ-pores on one face. 
III. Teleutosori hypophyllous, scattered, elliptical or circular, 
l mm. diam., pulverulent, chocolate-brown, surrounded by the ruptured 
epidermis. Spores clavate to elliptical, 25-40 x 15-22 mmm. ; apex 
rounded, seldom attenuate, thickened up to 10 mmm., base attenuate, 
basal cell narrower than the upper, cell-contents granular, nuclei evident ; 
constricted at the septum; epispore smooth, 1-5-2mmm, thick, go olden- 
brown ; pedicel persistent, tinted, continuous with spore, stout, up to 
25 8 mmm.; germ-pore of upper cell apical, conspicuous, basal pore 
immediately below ponent conspicuous.

McAlpine (1906, p. 137) describes a different rust on Luzula spp. in 
Australia. This еы Puccinia tenuispora i ul differs in the delicate,

II. Uredosori amphigenous, sparingly hypophyllous, cinnamon-brown, 
circular, scattered, pulverulent, 0-5 mm, diam., surroun y the ruptured 
epidermis. Spores elliptical or Батай, 23-29 x 19-21 mmm. ; ерїзроге 
sparsely and coarsely echinulate, 1-1-5 mmm. thick, pale ао, 
with 3 scattered germ-pores on one face

sori. Spores broadly elliptical, 25-33 x 19-22 mmm. ; apex rounded, not 
slightly constricted at the septum ; epispore smooth, 1 mmm. thick, n
