The so-called * capitata” form is common on most species. 
except L. violacea. Paraphyses usually accompany this form, 
and are mostly absent in the typical one, but many exceptions 
oceur. 
Schweinitz (Syn. Fung. Car. [1822] Nos. 497 and 498) 
describes this species under the names Puccinia Lespedeze 
procumbentis (497) and P. Lespedeze polystachye (498). 
U. fabee, (Pers.) DBy. 
IL, IIL. Spots small, black; sori amphigenous, sparse above, 
scattered, round or oblong, black, surrounded by the prominent 
remains of the ruptured epidermis. IJ. Spores in roundish, 
small and inconspicuous brownish sori, globose or oval, ob- 
scurely warty, pale brown, 21-24 by 24-29 ». III. Spores 
roundish-oval, obovate, oblong, pyriform or often irregular,

Persoon, in 1794 (Roemer’s N. Mag. J, p. 93), named a 
fungus Uredo Fabe, and this is presumably the uredo form of 
the present species. In 1801 (Syn. Fung. p. 221) he described 
under the name of Uredo Vicie Fabe what is no doubt the 
teleutoform. DeBary (Ann. Sc. Nat. IV. XX. [1863]) wrote 
Uromyces Fabe. 
U. vicie, U. vicie-fabe, U. ervi and U. orobi are synonyms. 
U. appendiculata, (Pers.) Lév. 
IL, III. Spots yellowish and indefinite or none; sori am- 
phigenous, scattered, pulverulent, often confluent. II. Sori
