Teleutospores. Sori hypophyllous, on sunken yellowish or 
purplish round spots, minute, pulvi- 
nate, brown, then with a greyish 
bloom, scattered or circinate and at 
length confluent in a thick crust; 
spores generally fusoid, rounded or 
conically attenuated above and much 
thickened (up to 12 4), gently constric- 
Peale Laue ted, attenuated downwards, smooth, 
Teleutospores. yellowish-brown or brown, 25—40 x 
9—13,; pedicels hyaline, persistent, 
about as long as the spore. 
On Circaea alpina, C. lutetiana. Rather common. August— 
October. (Fig. 146.) 
The sori of this species present two different forms: the first-formed 
are roundish, clear-brown, solitary or circinate and confluent ; the later- 
formed, which appear round the others or on the stem and on the nerves 
of the leaves, are darker-brown and never greyish. All the spores are of 
the same shape, but the paler ones can germinate at once, in the sorus, 
while the darker ones rest until the following spring, as in P. Veronicarum. 
There is another Uredine on the same host, even occurring on the same 
leaf: see Pucciniastrum Circaeae.
