174 PUCCINIA 
On leaves, petioles and stems of Glechoma hederacea 
(Nepeta Glechoma). June—October. Not uncommon. (Fig. 
123.) 
The sori are especially large, round and compact late in the season, 
when they produce spores which are darker and will not germinate 
immediately (as the others do), but only after the winter’s rest. I havea 
specimen, resembling this species, on Prunella vulgaris from Sutton Park, 
Warwicks. ; Plowright mentions a similar one from Ben Lawers (i.c. p. 215). 
DISTRIBUTION : Europe, Siberia, Japan.

Teleutospores. Sori hypophyllous, on pallid irregular spots, 
numerous, aggregated in patches, or more generally spreading 
over nearly the whole of a leaf, more or less crowded on the 
nerves, minute, perfectly round, surrounded by the torn erect 
epidermis, pulverulent, reddish-brown; spores ellipsoid to

ovate, rounded above with a small paler hemispherical pore- 
cap, slightly constricted, rounded below, smooth, yellow-brown, 
27—45 x 15—24 w; pedicels thin, hyaline, deciduous, about as 
long as the spore; a few oval mesospores intermixed. 
On Betonica officinalis (Stachys Betonica). Not common. 
May—September. (Fig. 124.) 
The affected leaves are paler, narrower, and stand more erect than the 
healthy ones. Besides the mesospores, other anomalies are occasionally
