258 PUCCINIA 
with a Crown Rust on Festuca ; Klebahn and Fischer have since repeatedly 
confirmed his results. Fischer records P. Festucae for Festuca rubra and 
its var. fallax, and he connects it with an ecidium on Lonicera coerulea 
and LZ. nigra. He states that the uredospores have about six germ-pores ; 
that the teleuto-sori are situated in the groove of the upper side of the 
leaf, at first covered by the epidermis which at length opens by a slit ; also 
that the teleutospores have a thick-walled pedicel and are much thickened 
and occasionally conical at the vertex ; mesospores were sometimes found 
intermixed. 
McAlpine found the uredospores with five scattered germ-pores on one 
face (z.e. probably six or more altogether). His specimens were on Festuca 
ovna and F. rig¢da, but in Australia no ecidium on Lonicera is known. 
He found very commonly, mixed with the teleutospores, mesospores 
provided with similar processes at the apex.

Uredospores. Sori amphigenous and on the inflorescence, 
minute, oblong, as much as 1 mm. long, arranged in long lines, 
on yellow discoloured spots, not often confluent, lemon-yellow ; 
spores globose to broadly ellipsoid, echinulate, yellow, 25—30 x 
18—26 u; membrane always distinctly colourless. 
Teleutospores. Sori hypophyllous or culmicolous, arranged 
in long fine lines, a few scattered on the inflorescence, oblong, 
dark-brown or black, covered by the epidermis ; spores clavate, 
rounded, truncate or obliquely conical above, where the exo- 
spore may be as much as 4—6 (or even 10) « thick, slightly 
constricted, attenuated below, smooth, brown.30—70 x 12— 244 : 
pedicels very short or almost none; paraphyses brown, numerous, 
curved, surrounding each little group of teleutospores.
