Oudemanns (/. c.) has clarified the situation in regard to the author 
of this name, Niessel being often given credit for the name. So, too, 
Sydow's use of the name Puccinia Veratri Duby as a synonym for 
Uromyces Veratri (DC.) Schroet., is in error. 
Tranzschel (/. c.) estabhshed the connection of the form with 
uredinia and teha on Veratrum with these aecia on Epilobium, ob- 
taining his clue from the similarity of teliospores of this species with 
those of Puccinia Epilohil. In America it had for some time been 
noted that aecia occurred upon Epilobium without being followed by 
telia. These aecia agreed in general with the aecia of Puccinia Epilohii- 
tetragoni, however; they were therefore usually referred to that species. 
Actual cultures have not been reported for America showing the con- 
nection with Puccinia Veratri in such cases, but it seems logical to 
assume that such aecia are the alternate phase of this Puccinia Veratri. 
As noted in the discussion of Puccinia Epilobii-tetragoni, differences in 
aecia referred to these two species are small indeed. The aecia can 
scarcely be considered to be local. In truth, it has been more upon 
the fact that telia did not follow aecia, telia upon Veratrum being at 
hand, or sometimes because of proximity of collections of the two 
forms, that led to the aecial specimens being considered to be Puccinia 
Veratri. 
Descriptions of the aecia for this heteroecious species have not 
been found in the literature. 
There is a foreign Uromyces on Veratrum, with smooth teliospores 
and thickened apex, evidentl}' not correlated with Puccinia Veratri. 
8. Puccinia Peckii (DeToni) Kellerman, Journ. Mycol. 8: 20. 1902. 
O & I. Described as Aecidium Oenofherea by Peck in Rep. N. Y. State Mus. 
23: 60. 1873. (See Sacc. Syll. Fung. 7: 790. 1888.) 
II and III. On several species of Carex. 
The aecia of this species have been found upon Gaura, Onagra, 
Merolix and Pachylophus from many parts of North America, espe- 
cially from the central plains area. The aecia are distinguishable, 
especially from those of Uromyces plumbarius, which occur upon some
