SOME INDIAN FUNGI. 
15 
On upper surface of some composite plant. 
Sori seated on purplish spots ; spores small, suhglobose or oval, 
•012-'015 X *01 m.m., pallid in the dried specimens, but probably 
yellowish when fresh. 
Trichobasis spinulosum. Coohe. 
Hypopbyllis. Maculis purpureis, orbicularibus, magnis; soris 
congestis, atro-brunneis ; pseudosporis ovatis, brunneis, supra 
echinulatis, infra la?vibus. 
On living leaves. Col. Hobson (56). 
Sori clustered on large suborbicular purple spots ; spores ovate, 
brown, spinulose at the broader end, smooth at the narrower, at 
first attached to long robust pedicels, *045 X '032 m.m. 
Lecythea Ricini. Lev. Ann. des Sci. JVat, 1847, viii., 374. 
On leaves of Ricinus communis. 
Fuccinia pnirpurea. C. 
Ampbigena. Maculis l^te purpureis; soris irregularibus, 3-6 
congestis, atro-brunneis ; protosporis ovatis, laevibus, brunneis ; 
teleutosporis elongato-ovatis, brunneis, superne bemispbericis, in- 
ferne obconoideis, longe stipitatis. 
On leaves of Sorghum vulgare. Col. Hobson. 
Uredo spores *035 x •025-*03 m.m., brandspores •04--045 x 
•022--025 m.m. Both are produced in small sori collected 3-6 on 
bright purple spots. It seems to be quite distinct from P. sorghi, 
Schw., and P. maydis. 
Ravenelia stictica. B. ^ Br. — Ceyloji Fungi, Linn. Soc, Joui’n. 
No. li,p. 93. 
On leaves of Pongamia. Col. Hobson (No. 9). 
The spores of the uredo-form are -015 X *012 m.m., and the 
macrospores '05-'07 m.m. 
Giraphiola phoenicis. Fod. CooTce, HandbooU, No. 1637. 
On leaves of palms. Col. Hobson. 
Cladospoxium Buteacolum. C. 
Effusum, subolivaceum, tenue ; floccis tenuibus, rectis, elongatis ; 
spoils fusiformibus, demum uniseptatis. 
On legume of Butea frondosa. Coi. Hobson (113). 
Externally very much like C. lierharum, but the long slender 
flocci are much more delicate, scarcely at all nodulose or con- 
stricted ; spores fusiform, very variable in length, diameter not 
exceeding that of the flocci, from *01 to '03 m.m. long, and about 
*005 m.m. broad. 
Cladospoxium puccinioides. C. 
Hypopbyllum. Maculis brunneis ; floccis coespitibus in soris 
atro-brunneis congestis, brevissimis ad basim olivaceo-fuligineis ; 
spoils elongatis, rectis, uniseptatis, pallide olivaceis. 
On under side of living leaves. Col. Hobson (No. 57). 
Eorming small sori resembling those of some species of Puccinia, 
seated together on brownish spots ; threads dark coloured at the 
base, paler upwards, densely coespitose; spores elongated, uni-
