In 1903, SYDOWS (2) described the tcleutospore of this fungus, and 
considered /Ecidium Cryptotcenice Diet, and Uredo Cryptotcenice Syd. as its 
stages. By infection experiments, I have been able to prove the correctness 
of SYDOWS’ assertion. At the end of May, 1904, by infecting the sporidia 
obtained by sowing in water the teleutospores collected in the fall of the 
previous year, I obtained the aecidia on the leaves of Cryptotcenia japonica. 
By sowing the aecidiospores thus produced on other healthy leaves of the 
same plant, I obtained the uredospores, from which I was able to produce at 
last the teleutospores. 
During this infection experiment, I have observed that the teleutospores, 
which have acuminate apex while young, become gradually obtuse and 
rounded as they grow older.
