Host: Celmisia glandulosa Hook. f. On leaves. Herb. No. 491. 
III. Mount Egmont (Taranaki), 1,170 m., W. D. Reid! N. R. Foy! З Jan., 
1922. (Type.) 
The host is endemic, and confined to the mountain regions of both 
Islands. Characterized by the thickened, rounded apex, thin epispore, 
and clavate shape of the teleutospore, and the absence of aecidia and 
uredospores.

I. Aecidia amphigenous and caulicolous, orange-yellow, crowded in 
irregular groups on inflated areas, which may attain a diam. of 20 mm. 
or more. , Peridia cupulate, margins white, lacerate, revolute. Spores 
polygonal or elliptical, 16-19 x 12-17 mmm. ; epispore i mmm, thick, 
hyaline, closely and densely verruculose, cell-contents vacuolate, orange-

ПІ. Teleutosori amphigenous, chiefly caulicolous, in irregular groups 
mixed with aecidia, crowded, elliptical, 1 mm. long, becoming confluent, 
compact, pulvinate, black, long covered by the epidermis. Spores clavate, 
40-51 x 17-25 mmm. ; apex rounded, truncate, or acuminate, thicke 
up to 10 mmm., base attentuate, basal cell narrower and lighter in colour, 
cell-contents granular; constricted at the septum;  epispore emooth, 
chestnut-brown, 2-2-5 mmm. thick in upper cell, 1-1-5 mmm. in lower; 
pedicel persistent, tinted, 40 x 9 mmm., continuous with spore; germ-pore 
of the upper cell apical, obscure, basal pore immediately below the septum, 
obscure. 
Mesospores common, fusoid, or elliptical, 32-43 х 13-17 mmm. ;

Distribution : Australia ; Tasmania. { 1 
The host is indigenous and widespread ; it occurs also in Australia and 
Tasmania (Cheeseman, 1906, p. 364). 
Closely related to Puccinia tasmanica Diet., on Senecio spp. but 
differing in several minor details. The teleutospores are somewhat shorter 
and have a somewhat thinner epispore than P. tasmanica.
