SYSTEMATIC DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIES OF THE 
HETEROBASIDIAE. 
Basidia longitudinally divided, transversely septate or simple; spores on 
germination producing spoiidiola or a mycelium, but the former only in the case 
of the simple basidia. 
AUBICULARIALES. 
Basidia transversely septate, cylindrical, straight or curved, consisting of either 
prol)asidia or normal basidia. Bpores producing sporidiola or a m\celiuin on 
germination. 
I. Parasites, with or without probasidia. 
Pi’.cciniineae, the Rusts i 
Coleosporiineae ^ Not dealt with in this Handbook. 
Ustilagineae, the Smuts ' 
II. Saprophytes. 
AURICULARIINEAE. 
Hymenium fully exposed from the first. 
AURICULARIACEAE. 
Same characters as the suborder. 
SACCOBLASTIA Aloell. 
(Gr., sakTcos, a sac; hlastos, a bud, shoot.) 
"Receptacle floceose or gelatinous-mucoid, effused. Probasidia in the form of 
a sac, pendent laterally, and giving rise to a basidium with three transverse 
partitions. Sterigmata' lateral (one terminal), spores hyaline, smooth,” Bourdot 
and Galzin. 
No species recorded for Australia.
