Carex ticertca Gay In W. Norrorx.—Mr. A. Fryer, of Chat- 
cismal uredine, the puccinia and uredo of which occur upon Carex 
under the name Acidiwn ranunculacearum. Schréter first pointed 
out that the ecidium on R. jicari@ was a heteroecismal uredine 
which had nothing to do with Uromyces ficaria, the fungus to which 
Fuckel, Cooke, and others had affiliated it, but, on the contrary, 
was a spore-form of Uromyces pow. At the present time the 
generally-accepted view of these «cidia is that given by Winter m 
the last edition of Rabenhorst’s ‘ Flora’ as follows :—‘‘ Uromyces po@ 
(a) that of Uromyces pow ; (b) that of Puccinia Magusiana. 2. That 
the ecidium of U. dactylidis is confined to R. bulbosus. 3. That the 
wcidium on P. acris probably belongs to a Puccinia.—— CHARLES B.
