oth the hosts are indigenous; R. lappaceus occurs also in Australia 
(Ühoesenina, 1906, p. 20). out 5 per cent. of small spores are present 
in the teleutosori ; these are Atlar to the normal spores save in size, which 
is considerably less than normal, being on the average 25 x 15 mmm. 
(fig. 35, No. 5). Occasionally a vertical septum is present in the upper 
cell. Characterized by the non-thickened apex, and reticulate epispore of 
the teleutospore.
