What has been called Uredo miniata, Pers., Ceoma miniaty, 
Schl., or Coleosporium miniatum, Lév., has been considered the 
ecidioform of Phragmidium mucronatum, Pers., with which it 
is certainly often associated. But it is very commonly found 
on the green leaves, in the early part of the season, with Ph. 
speciosum on the twigs at the same time. Sometimes, however, 
the teleutospores of Ph. mucronatum occur later in the season 
on the Czoma-affected leaves‘or on other leaves of the same 
plant. 
All the numbers except 5952 and 6273 were accompanied 
by the above mentioned form. 
Ph. rubi-idei, (Pers.) Winter. 
I, I. Hypophyllous. Uredosori sniall, scattered, usu- 
ally very numerous; uredospores obovate or elliptical, epispore 
thin, sharply echinulate, 15-18 u; teleutosori small, scattered, 
powdery, black; teleutospores cylindrical, ends obtusely round- 
ed, vertex furnished with a more or less elongated, conical, or 
often somewhat cylindrical hyaline apiculus, whole surface 
very rough-warty, almost black, about six- to eight-septate, 
27-33 by 67-120 u; pedicel tinted near the spore, otherwise hy- 
aline, about one and a half times the length of the spore, from 
above the middle downward elongate-elliptical, roughened. 
On leaves of Rubus strigosus: McHenry, Aug. 20, 1177, 
Aug. 28, 1232; Boone, Sept. 2, 1422, II.; Cook, Sept. 5, 1446, 
IL; Stephenson, Sept. 14, 5882, II., III; JoDaviess, Sept. 20, 
6012, IT. 
The teleutogori are surrounded by many incurved colorless 
(dry specimens) clavate paraphyses, but a careful examination 
of the specimens failed to reveal them with the uredosori, 
though these were over-mature, and the spores everywhere 
scattered among the matted hairs of the leaf.
