brown or purple spots, in small round clusters 2—4 mm. diam., 
elongated on the nerves and petioles, cup-shaped, with a whitish 
lobed revolute margin; spores tending to become ellipsoid, 
delicately verruculose, hyaline, 18—26 x 15—22 u. 
Uredospores. Sori hypophyllous, on pale minute spots 
2—3 mm. diam., scattered, rarely aggre- a 
gated, minute, punctiform, pale-cinna- 
mon; spore globose to ellipsoid, echinu- ( \) 
late, not thickened above, brown, 25—- \ H 
38 x 18—27 4; epispore thick (up to YD 
34 4), with two (rarely three) germ-pores, 
with slightly swollen caps. Fig. 181. P. Saniculae. 
Teleutospores. Sori similar, but dar- eit cca iil 
ker; spores ellipsoid or oblong, rounded 
at both ends, sometimes slightly thickened above and provided 
with a small papilla, hardly constricted, smooth, brown, 26— 
45 x 18—26 w; pedicels hyaline, thin, deciduous. 
On Sanicula europaea. Common. Aicidia, May and June; 
teleutospores, August—October; but I have found all three 
kinds of spores, in sheltered places, as early as April. (Fig. 181.)

icidiospores. Aicidia on the nerves of the leaves, on 
petioles and stems, in roundish or oblong groups as much as

Uredospores. Sori generally hypophyllous, scattered, mi-
