EXCLUDED SPECIES. 
Uromycres Parwassi@ Cooke, Grevillea, vii. 134. Plowr. Ured. 
p. 128. 
This species does not exist. The ecidium on Parnassia, 
which was at first assigned to 
it, is now known to belong to 
Puceinia uliginosa (q.v.), and the 
other stages are merely Uromyces 
Valerianae on Valeriana dioica, 
as has been pointed out by Sydow. 
The leaves issued by Cooke under 
this name (Exsicc. 1. 74) are 
obviously the radical leaves of 
the Valerian (Fig. 290) which Fig. 290. Radical leaves of Va- 
grows in similar places to those —_—‘leriana dioica (left) and Parnassia 
suitable for the Parnassia. In ee MENDES 
Sutton Park (Warwicks.) the two plants grow side by side, and 
when I first found the Uromyces there I put it down as JU. 
Parnassiae. Rusty marks do frequently appear on the leaves of 
the Parnassia which are placed in herbaria as U. Parnassiae, 
but on examination no spores will be found in them. 
Uromyces Urntica Cooke, Grevillea, vii. 137. Plowr. Ured. p. 142. 
This also is a non-existent species. The origin of the 
mistake can now never be unravelled. 
URoOMYCES SCUTELLATUS Cooke, Grevillea, vii. 137. Plowr. Ured. p. 134, 
This is probably nothing but an error in identification. 
PuccINIA ASARINA Cooke, Handb. p. 504, Plowr. Ured. p. 202. 
This is merely Puccinia Fergussont; the leaves on which 
the specimens are in Cooke’s Exsice. i. 110 are obviously those 
of Viola palustris. It is rather strange that the spores of 
this species are exceedingly like the spores of the continental 
P. asarina, and the sori are almost identical in appearance.
