This species was formerly united with U. Armertae (q.v.), but the 
teleutospores are distinctly different. 
DISTRIBUTION: Europe, North Africa, Siberia and North 
America.

Spermogones. Scattered among the ecidia, honey-coloured. 
4icidiospores. Aiicidia amphigenous, scattered or in small 
clusters, at first hemispherical, then cup-shaped, with a whitish 
incised margin ; spores densely and minutely verruculose, yellow, 
17—28 x 16—22 p. 
Uredospores. Sori amphigenous, sometimes on purplish 
spots, rounded or elongated, surrounded or half-covered by the 
cleft epidermis, pulverulent, cinnamon; spores globose to 
oval, very densely and minutely verruculose, yellowish-brown, 
24—32 x 21—28 w; epispore 24—3 w thick, with two or three 
germ-pores. 
Teleutospores. Sori similar, dark-brown; spores globose to 
ovate, rounded and thickened (7 «) at the 
apex, with a broad flat cap, usually 
rounded below, smooth, brown, 24—36 
x 21—32 w: pedicels hyaline, nearly as 
long as the spore, seldom persistent. 
On leaves and peduncles of Armeria 
maritima. Not uncommon. Aicidia in 
May and ; 
y June; uredospores from J Be at annette 
onwards; a few teleutospores begin to Teleutospore and 
appear in the uredo-sori towards the end HEEB ORBAES: 
of July. (Fig. 41.) 
This species was united by Plowright with U. Limonii, but is distin- 
guished by the more readily pulverulent sori, the shorter and broader 
teleutospores, and the shorter hyaline pedicel which is easily detached. 
The distinctness of the two species does not seem, however, to have been 
tested by experimental cultures. Though the uredo- and teleutospores
