BIOLOGY.—The ecidia occur on pallid spots, which are usually 
tinged with purple round their circumference; on the stems they 
cause considerable distortion. As the fungus occurs in situations 
which are often covered by the spring tides, it is obvious that the 
presence of salt is not inimical to it.

Acidiospores—Spots generally hypophyllous, rarely cauline. 
Pseudoperidia in small irregular clusters, rather flat, with

finely echinulate, 20-25 xX 15-20p.

elongated. Spores globose or elliptical, smooth, chestnut 
brown, apices thickened, rounded or conical, 23-35 X 15-204.
