Both hosts are гунга, Gaya Lyallii being confined to the South Island 
(Cheeseman, 1906, pp. 77-80). Distinguished by the elliptical teleutospores 
with their reticulate epispores. P. Hoheriae is separated from this species 
on account of the differences 1 in sorus characters.

0. Spermogones epiphyllous, sparse, in scattered groups on pallid spots,

III. Teleutosori amphigenous, chiefly hypophyllous, and caulicolous, on 
leaves scattered, when elliptical, seated on purple spots, but more frequently 
aggregated into irregular masses up to 40 mm. long, forming distorted areas 
verulent.

The host is endemic and widespread. It is with аске hesitation 
that I have raised this well-marked form to specific rank, as it differs from 
P. Plagianthi only in sorus оа these, however, аге so well mark 
that to the eye there appears to be no resemblance whatever between the 
two. It is only when the eie are examined under the microscope 
E the relationship of the two forms becomes apparent. (See Plate 77,
