and telia, agreeing closely with the preceding. This collection was 
made in the state of St. Catharine, Brazil, and published as on 
Bambusa sp., E. Ule 866. A part of the same collection sent me by 
E. W. D. Hotway supplies the additional data ‘‘ Blumenau, July 
1888,”’ and gives the host as. ‘‘Olyra micrantha.” Mrs. AGNES 
CHASE has examined this material and considers that it is some kind 
of bamboo, not identical with the preceding, and very probably 
Arundinaria amplissima, a species not uncommon in Brazil. . 
The two forms are herewith combined under one name. The 
following emended description is drawn from the original collections 
by E. ULE. From a misinterpretation of the specific characters 
the name Uredo Olyrae was introduced into the literature of the 
North American rusts (Mycologia 8:21. 1916), but the error was 
corrected later (zbid 9:92. 1917). 
Uredinia amphigenous, scattered, elliptical, small, o.5 mm. or 
less long, cinnamon brown; paraphyses none;  urediniospores 
ellipsoid or obovoid, 18-23 by 23-29 uw; wall pale yellow or light 
golden brown, thin, 1-1.5 4, rather sparsely and prominently 
echinulate, the pores obscure. 
Telia few, like the uredinia in size and position, early naked, 
slightly darker in color; teliospores irregularly ellipsoid, often with 
the septum oblique, very small, 12-15 by 18-26 uw, rounded above, 
somewhat tapering below, slightly constricted at septum; wall 
cinnamon brown, moderately and uniformly thin, about 1.5 4, 
smooth; pedicel colorless, one-third length of spore or less. 
12. Puccinia Roseanae, sp. nov. (on Amaryllidaceae).— 
Tecophilaea Roseana Esposto ined., vicinity of Santa Clara, Peru, 
July 6, 1, IIT, no. 18608. 
Pycnia chiefly epiphyllous, numerous in loose groups, honey 
yellow ci ligt t brown, conspicuous, subepidermal, flask- 
shaped, about 130 yw in diameter 
Aecia hypophyllous, crowded in annular groups 3-6 mm. 
across, on larger discolored spots, cupulate, o.2-o.4 mm. in diam- 
eter, the margin somewhat reverted, erose or lacerate; peridial 
cells rhomboidal, 18-26 by 22-30 win face view, abutted or slightly 
overlapped, the inner surface verrucose; aeciospores globoid, 
16-23 by 18-27 a wall nearly or quite ia thin, 1 uw, incon- 
spicuously verruco 
Telia epiphylious scattered, oblong, o.5-o.8 mm. long, promi-
