88. Endophylloides portoricensis Whetzel & Olive (Aecidium 



expansum Arth., not A. expansum Diet.). 

 On Carduaceae : 



Mikania cordifolia (L. f.) Willd., Mayagiiez, Feb. 29, 

 March 29, 83; Maricao, March 16, 84; San German, 

 April 1, 85; El Duque, April 19, 86. 

 Mikania odoratissima Urban, El Yunque, April 14, 73/ 

 El Duque, April 19, 74. 

 The material in the Stevens set was not sufficiently well studied 

 to make out the true character of the sorus, and an erroneous 

 determination was the consequence. The second host was not 

 named in the Stevens list, although his no. 135, given as Mikania 

 sp., has since been determined as M. odoratissima. The species 

 has been found in the phanerogamic herbarium of the N. Y. Bot. 

 Garden on M. Stevensiana Britton, Maricao river, P. R., Feb. 14, 

 191 5, Britton & Cornell 4225, and on M. scandens (L.) Willd.,
