hosts are endemic and widespread (Cheeseman, 1906 
рр. 246-48). On C. robusta this fungus forms large brown spots which 
are very conspicuous; on C. lucida these spots are much less common, 
and are frequently absent. I 
Cooke's description is so fragmentary that it would be wellnigh impos- 
sible to determine any species from it; fortunately I have the cotype 
material from which the species was named, and the above description | 
is drawn up from this. This is опе of our commonest indigenous rusts. ~

The host is indigenous and wi spread ; it occurs also in Australia _ 
(Cheeseman, 1906, р. 400). Although McAlpine (1906, p. 148) describes - 
i ies an aecidium occurring on the same host, ў 
‚ Where an aecidium appears to be commo de 
spp., a closely related genus. Mc ATE 
states that he has not found the two forms on the same host at 
same time, but groups them together as a matter of convenience until 
such time as their relationships are proven.
