Teleutospores. Sori amphigenous, scattered, roundish or 
elliptical, 1—3 mm. long, covered by the 
lead-coloured epidermis which at length 
splits longitudinally, then naked, pul- 
verulent, dark-brown; spores subglobose 
to obovoid, not or scarcely thickened 
above, but usually with a hyaline apiculus,

spore 2 » thick; pedicels hyaline, shorter 
than the spores. 
On leaves of Gagea lutea. Rare. April, May. (Fig. 71.) 
The teleutospores mature in spring, according to Fischer. Plowright 
says that the mycelium causes variously shaped pale spots on the affected 
leaves ; but I find no spots and in Sydow it is said that there are none. 
DisTRIBUTION: Western and Central Europe.
