On Adoxa moschatellina. 
March to May. 
BIoLoGy.—The mycelium of this fungus is perennial; affected 
plants, cultivated by Professor Trail at Aberdeen, and by myself at 
King’s Lynn, year after year, produced only teleutospores. Mr. 
Soppitt placed some over-wintered teleutospores in active germination 
on healthy plants, in March, 1888; in ten days the teleutospores had 
reproduced themselves without the intervention of either uredospores or 
zecidiospores. He had previously satisfied himself of the distinctness 
of this species from P. albescens by his observations of the fungi as 
they occurred in a state of nature in Yorkshire. 
Puccinia saxifrage. Schlecht. 
Teleutospores—Sori amphigenous, dark chestnut or blackish brown, 
on numerous discoloured spots, irregular, soon pulverulent, 
confluent. Spores elliptical or ovate, slightly constricted, 
apex surmounted with a conical or wart-like pale papilla, 
faintly reticulate, yellow-brown, 26-45 X 14-204.  Pedicels 
short, deciduous.
