150 PUCCINIA | 
faintly granulated, chestnut-brown, 830—42 x 21—27 ; epispore 
thin; pedicels hyaline, short or nearly as long as the spore.

On Leontodon autumnalis, L. hispidus. August, September. 
Not uncommon. (Fig. 102.) 
The teleutospores of this species are said to be more than usually 
variable ; sometimes the sori, according to Sydow, are seated on coloured 
spots, but more often the spots are wanting. Up to the present, no 
experimental cultures appear to have been carried out with this Puccinia, 
and it is separated from P. Hieracit mainly because it is parasitic upon a 
different genus. I have found it mostly upon old yellowing leaves. 
DISTRIBUTION : Europe generally.
