Hosts :— 
Phormium tenax Forst. On leaves. Herb. Nos. 755, 775. Plimmer- 
ton Мы селш 20 m., R. Waters! Н. Drake! G. Н.С. 16 Jan., 
1922. 
Phormium е Hook. f. Herb. No. 757. Tokaanu- Waiouru 
Road, Taupo, 800 m., E. H. Atkinson! 11 March, 1922. 
Both hosts are indigeno us, the former being common throughout, and 
extending to Norfolk Island, whilst the latter is endemic. (Cheeseman, 
1906, р. T us) 
ust is characterized by the small spores, coloured coarsely and 
` Spars ly ышы thiek epispore, and conspicuous scattered germ- pores 
Severely infected leaves are useless for milling purposes.

Cke. et Mass., Grev., vol. 15, p. 99, 1887. 
II. Uredosori е, eee hypophyllous, scattered, bullate, 
reddish-brown, orbicular, 1-1- . diam., long covered, at length free 
germ-pores са numerous (8-10), conspicuous 
Host: Rhagodia nutans R. Br. On leaves. Herb. No. 294. Seashore, 
Seatoun (Wellington), E. Н. Atkinson! G. H.C. 27 Jan., 1921. 
istribution: Victoria 
The host is indigenous, and is not uncommon on rocky areas near 
the sea-coast; it occurs also in eastern Australia. (Cheeseman, 1906, 
578. 
= The spore- -measurements (20 x 15 mmm.) given by Cooke and Massee 
are much too small, as has been ascertained by McAlpine (1906, p. 207) 
from an examination of part of the type material. 
8. Uredo inflata Cooke. (Fig. 120.) Umbelliferae. 
Cke., Grev., vol. 19, p. 48, 1890. 
II. Uredosori Mc pax erowded or scattered, seldom confluent, 
irregular in shape, usually elliptical when up to 4 mm. long, bullate, pallid 
ferruginous, long covered by Lg epidermis. Spores globose or shortly 
elliptical, 25-35 x 22-32 mmm. ; epispore v" minutely and densely 
verruculose (appearing smooth nem wet) up to 6 mmm. thick, slightly 
thickened at the apex (2-3 mmm.), cell- Ea granular, tinted cinna- 
mon; pedicel persistent, hyaline, fragile, up to 25 x 5 mmm. ; germ-pores 
indistinct. 
Host : Anisotome latifolia Hook. f. (= Ligusticum latifolium Hook. #.). Ор 
leaves. Herb. No.41. Campbell Islands, T. Kirk/ 1890. (Type collection.) 
Distribution: Campbell Islands. 
The host is endemic, and confined to the Campbell and Auckland 
Islands. (Cheeseman, 1906, 
This species is characterized by the almost smooth thick and hyaline 
epispore. This may prove to be a species of Uromyces, but this can be 
verified only by germinating the spores, and as the material at hand is too 
old (all attempts to germinate the spores having failed) it 1s retained here 
for the present.
