286 PUCCINIA 
but I have found on Arrhenatherum on many occasions teleutospores and 
uredospores which seem to be identical with those of this species, though 
the former are, in my specimens, often irregularly three- or four-celled.

Teleutospores. Sori on the leaves and culms, scattered, 
minute, roundish or oblong, up to 
1mm. long, pulvinate, surrounded 
by the cleft epidermis, black- 
brown; spores clavate, usually 
truncate above, more rarely round- 
ed or conically attenuate, much 
thickened (10—16 yp), hardly 
constricted, tapering downwards,

spore and telenionpores, from 99 4, pedicels hyaline, persistent, 
about as long as the spore. 
On Koeleria cristata. Very rare. September and October,

There is much doubt about this fungus ; it was suspected by Winter, 
on account of the likeness of its teleutospores to those of P. Carteczs, that 
the original specimens on which the species was founded grew not on 
Koelerta, but on Carer. It seems to have been recorded only twice, once 
by Morthier in the Jura, in spring on old leaves of the previous year, and 
once as above. The three figures quoted in the synonymy agree fairly 
well, but appear to have been all taken from the same material, viz. that 
gathered by Morthier, which according to Sydow may well be Koeleria and 
not Carex. I have examined the specimens, preserved in Herb. Kew, 
gathered by Prof. Trail; they are undoubtedly Aoeleria, they have split 
sheaths and, though not in flower, agree perfectly with specimens of 
Koeleria cristata from the Highlands, in the same herbarium. But they 
bear uredospores in slightly swollen epiphyllous yellow patches, sunken in 
the leaf (these are mentioned by Prof. Trail in the Scottish Naturalist, 
1883, p. 85) ; therefore the fungus cannot be P. paliformis as described by 
Fuckel, but is probably P. langissima, Schrét. I found the uredospores oval 
or obovate, pale brownish-yellow, sparsely echinulate, 23-—24 x 17—18 py.
