ON VERONICA 169 
The ecidia may be found together with the teleutospores right up to 
September, often on the same spot. This species is very different from 
the others on Galiwm; the teleuto-sori, as Cooke says, are “firm and 
compact like little spots of pitch,” and may be accompanied by swellings 
and distortion. There are no uredospores. 
DISTRIBUTION: Central and Northern Europe, India, North 
America.

Teleutospores. Sori hypophyllous, on orbicular brown spots, 
minute, scattered or circinate, 
roundish, at first yellowish- 
brown, then brown; spores 
fusoid, generally rounded above 
and thickened (up to 5 p), 
hardly constricted, tapering 
below, smooth, yellowish or 
very pale brown, 28—52 x 
10—16 », pedicels hyaline, 
persistent, as long as the spore Fig. reece aes 
or shorter. 
On Veronica montana. June (or earlier) to October. Not 
common. (Fig. 119.) 
Distinguished from P. Veronicarum by the very clear-coloured and 
narrower spores, which are less strongly thickened at the apex. It has 
also only one form of spore, viz. that with persistent pedicel which 
germinates as soon as mature. It does not occur on V. alpona. 
DisTRIBUTION : Western and Central Europe.
