1376. Melampsora saxifragarum (de C.) Schroet. Syn: Thecop- 

 sora sax. Magnus, Melampsora vernalis Niessl, Caeoma saxifragae 

 Strauss. 



The mycelium of the fungus hibernates in the host-plant (Liro 08 ^^* 

 &. Bubak 08 b ^'") ; caeoma is very abundantly developed in April- 

 June, St. II <S^ III are rather inconspicuous.

 Kenntn. einiger der wicht. Gattungen der Coniomyceten. 1860). 



St. I is unknown, st. II is rather common in June— October, st. Ill 

 was first noticed by Rostrup Decemb. 28. 1873; but he did not publish 

 this discovery until much later (96 m^^^). 



The name of Bonordens which is the first name applied to this 

 species, as a name of species, is for this reason prior to that used by 

 de Candolle about 40 years earlier.

The life cycle of the fungus takes two years; the sporidia from the 

 leaves of Prunus padus infect the female flowers of Picea excelsa in 

 April; the cones which are produced by the diseased flowers are pene- 

 trated by the mycelium of the fungus which produces aecidia on all the 

 scales of the cones next year. From these the leaves of Prunus padus 

 are again infected in June. 0rsted examined st. I, which had formerly 

 been classified under Myxomycetes, and put it in its proper place of 

 the system (0rsted 63 a '^ 6^ 63 b ^''*). Common, noticed from the fol- 

 lowing localities:
