III. Teleutosori on pods which have become converted into distorted, 
rugulose, inflated, piriform galls, attaining a size of 40 x 18 mm. ; chocolate, 
pulverulent, covering the entire surface, naked. Teleutospores broadly 
elliptical, less commonly obovate, 30-40 x 22-26 mmm.; apex r rounded 
or bluntly acuminate, slightly (3-4 mmm.) thickened, base attenuate or 
rounded ; epispore 2-3 mmm. thick, conspicuously longitudinally reticulate, 
with, in addition, a few coarse warts near the apex, pallid chestnut-brown ; 
pedicel deciduous, EON up to 15 x 6 mmm.; germ-pore apical, con-

fungus attacks the pods shortly after flowering, causing them to 
become distorted and much inflated. In place of the normal pod, 5-20 ст. 
өм, a short piriform gall is formed in its stead. The surface of the gall is 
uc ed and covered with the masses of chocolate-coloured sori. The 
соран of the teleutospore is covered with distinct reticulations, arranged 
in parallel rows which converge at the poles This character separates this 
from every other species occurring on the genera Edwardsia and S a. 
No less than six species of Uromyces, and two of the form- те 
Aecidium, have been recorded as occurring on these two genera, as under :

e majority of these species of Uromyces possess verruculose teleuto- 
spores, but none have the peculiar аена тя so noticeable in our species ; 
the gall-forming habit, and habitat on pods, are also characteristic features
