gineis, primitus nucleatis (23-25 x 6-7 p). 
On decorticated wood. Brisbane. ( Bailey , 631.) 
Allied to H. allantoideum, but differing in fruit and in more dis-

congestis, compactis, brunneis, demum nudis, nec pulverulentibus,

sporis ellipticis, obtusis, rarius apiculatis, fuscis ; episporio minute 
verruculoso, crassiusculo, hyalino, ad apicem incrassatis (40-45 x 
16-18 p). 
On phyllodes of Acacia. Brisbane. {Bailey, 643.) 
Resembling in some particulars Uromyces fusisporum , C. & M.,

Agaricus (Schulzeria) umkowaani, CTce. fy Mass. 
Pileo carnoso, haemispherico, explanato, sicco, minute granuloso, 
albido (3-4 unc. lato), stipite fusiformi-radicato (12-16 unc. long, 
l unc. crass), solido, glabro, concolori; lamellis liberis, postice 
attenuatis, confertis, sublatis, albis, sporis ellipticis, 10x4-5 p. 
Edulis. 
On the ground. D’Urban. {Wood, 4060.)

cooked, much superior to the common mushroom.” 
Uredo celastrinese, Clce. fy Mass. 
Soris hypophyllis, magnis, bullatis, epidermide tectis, gilvis ; 
uredosporis elongato-ellipsoideis (40-50x 14-16 p). Episporio 
crassiusculo, granuloso-verrucoso, hyalino, plasmate aurantiaco. 
On living leaves of Sa lacia Kraussii. D’Urban. {Wood, 4028.) 
JEcidium Royenae, C. fy M. 
Maculis nullis. Hypophyllum, pseudoperidiis gregariis, totius 
superficies occupantibus, cupularibus, aureis, margine minute serru- 
lato, albo, gecidiosporis concatenatis, quadratis, minute rugulosis, 
18-12 p diam. 
On leaves of Royena pallens. Berea. Natal. {Wood, 4078.)
