182 PUCCINIA 
Teleutospores. A very few are found in the uredo-sori, 
ellipsoid to oblong, rounded at both 
ends, hardly thickened above, gently 
constricted, smooth, brown, 30—44 x 18 
—28 yu; pedicels hyaline, thin, deciduous. 
On Hydrocotyle vulgaris. Rare: 
Kew Gardens; Epping Forest; Ireland, 
Co. Dublin. Uredospores, July—Sep- 
tember; teleutospores, October. (Fig. 
130.) 
This species is very imperfectly known. 
The ecidium is recorded only from South 
Fig. 180. P. Hydrocotyles. America ; in Europe the uredo-form alone has 
Teleutospore and 
uredospore. been observed, except for a few teleutospores 
in the uredo-sori. Lindroth describes the 
teleutospores (which are rare everywhere) as furnished with large isolated 
depressed and rounded warts, while those I have seen are perfectly 
smooth and with long and persistent pedicels. Cooke describes, both 
uredo- and smooth teleutospores, intermixed, on Hydrocotyle, from Natal 
(Grevillea Z.c.). Sydow states that the uredospores from all localities 
agree perfectly ; those that I have examined from the Hawaian Islands 
agree exactly with ours, having the same peculiar colour resembling a 
strong wash of “raw sienna.” 
This species illustrates, in the Epping Forest locality, what can be 
frequently observed :—that, so long as the surroundings are undisturbed 
by man, many species of Fungi occur year after year continuously in the 
same spot. It is recorded as found there in 1863, 1864, 1871, 1882, and 
1906, etc., and no doubt could have been found, or was found, there equally 
in all the intervening years.

America, Natal, Pacific Islands.
