184 PUCCINIA 
verruculose or distinctly verrucose-reticulated, even sometimes 
nearly smooth, brown,, 28—46 x 18—30 p; pedicels hyaline, 
thin, short, deciduous. 
On Cicuta virosa. Rare. Mentioned by Plowright in his 
arrangement of the British species, Trans. Brit. Myc. Soe. 11. 26; 
he assigns spermogones to it as well. I have seen no specimens. 
The fungus is similar to P. Smyrnii in its ecidia and teleutospores, 
but differs in the presence of uredospores. Description after Sydow. 
DISTRIBUTION: Central and Northern Europe, Siberia, 
Japan, North America.

Spermogones. Hypophyllous, mostly surrounded by the 
eecidia, often circinate, shining reddish-brown. 
Aicidiospores. Aicidia hypophyllous or on the petioles, on 
minute, irregular, conspicuous, yellowish spots, in roundish or on 
the petioles elongated clusters, shortly cylindrical, with white 
torn margin; spores delicately verruculose, orange, 17—24 p.

Uredospores. Sori hypophyllous, scattered, here and there 
confluent, surrounded by the epidermis, pulverulent, cinnamon- 
brown; spores ellipsoid to obovate or even subclavate, shortly 
echinulate, slightly thickened above (8—5 yu), brownish-yellow, 
24—35 x 20—26 pw, with three equatorial germ-pores. 
. Leleutospores. Sori hypophyllous, rarely epiphyllous, if on
